I recently went to an FFL to purchase my first handgun. He told me there would be a Hour and half wait........ So I get a call a bit later and he tells me the check has been "Delayed" and it will be a mandatory 3 days?
What Gives? Does anyone know why they do this? I bought a 22 rifle from Wall mart about a month ago and the background check came back in about 45 min as being clear.

I have never had any run-in's with the law that would prevent me from owning a firearm, much less any at all for over 5 years(even then it was out of state) I have however had speeding tickets and such (1 pending), but again, nothing serious.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
