Wal-Mart has been associated with MAIG since early '08. Seems to me (opinion here) that alot of the large retailers are adopting this policy. Just a little CYA I guess, as they have more to lose. These days people sue right up the chain and these retailers have deep pockets.

well i went to McBride's today. Got delayed again, but I'm paid in full and they said if they haven't heard anything back in three days to come pick up the pistol.

On another note.......I got a better deal there too.

Joe McBride is one of the best people I've ever done business with. I'd go to McBride's for the service even if it meant paying extra on the gun. Another route to consider is if you know you can legally own a firearm you can purchase from an individual or gun show bypassing the whole NICS fiasco.

Default The delay is interesting....

since I purchased a .357 Rossi 2 in from Academy. I filled out the paperwork, provided I.D., they picked up the phone, and within 10 minutes I was walking out with the weapon.

I have a couple of questions about the delay. How long does it usually take to hear something back? Is there anyway to speed the process up?

If you buy from a dealer at a gun show, you are going to go through the NICS database.

True, but there is nothing special about a gun show. That is just another private sale. I think most FFL's would be careful about conducting private sales, but I don't have any experience with it.

I'm just tired of the whole "gun show loophole" BS.

it'll cost some money, but you can request your records from the FBI so see if anything is showing up that will prevent you from owning a firearm. Here's the link:
Federal Bureau of Investigation - Criminal Justice Information Services Division - FBI Identification Record Request
