Today I had the misfortune of getting a "delayed" return on my instant background check while picking up a new gun. Fellow at the counter tells me to come back in 4 days if they do not call me before then.

Struck me as odd, because I've purchased from this same dealer a couple months ago and the background check was returned (approved) within 30 seconds, and it's been that way for every other gun purchase I've ever made.

This place busier than usual, but not too terribly crowded. I've shopped on Black Friday before where it's been MUCH busier and received an instant approval, so I don't think it's the system being overloaded. Anyone know why this happens? The kid doing the transaction seemed about as sharp as a bowling ball, perhaps he entered my info in wrong. I'm stumped...
