We were up in Bonners Ferry over the weekend, visiting from SW Idaho. What a great place!
RE: NICS Checks. I bought a new gun in August, the NICS check came back in about five minutes.
Regarding the Idaho stop. Growing up in Michigan, I thought they were Michigan stops. Then I moved to New York and I learned they are New York stops and all those people in Michigan were just New York transplants.
Lol here in NY we always called them California stops!
Here in Oregon I typically get my guns in less than 30-minutes; until I bought one in May which took eight days! Then I bought one in August which took eleven minutes, and one in September which took ten minutes- the que was over 8,000 at State Police FICS, but for some reason frequent flyers pass to the head of the line. Fortunately, I am not one in desperate need for my very first weapon to answer an emerging threat. I cannot believe how poorly the system operates.
Interestingly, Oregon state law says this: “One of the following 3 determinations will be provided within 30 minutes or less to the transferor at the time the background check is requested, as required by Oregon law. [Approved. Denied. Pend/Delay]” But, this is Katie Brown’s feifdom and the law means nothing.
Anyone who keeps track of the progressive long game will see what is happening: perhaps the gubbermint is getting folks accustomed to the long wait so they can “come to the rescue” with a mere 3-day waiting period? Our saviors! Why, any reasonable gun owner would get behind that if it sped things up! I know the NRA would back that in a heartbeat because they are on the wrong side of the 2A discussion.
Always watch the other hand when the gubbermint is involved.
