Let me set up the question... EVERYTIME I buy a firearm, for whatever reason, I get a "delay" from NICS. No joke, absolutely every time. Its annoying, but they always come back correctly as "proceed" within a couple days.
What happens if I buy a firearm at a gun show, and the transaction is "delayed" by NICS? What if NICS doesnt call back with a "proceed" in time (most shows are 2-3 days, but NICS has 4 business days to return the call). Am I screwed, since most of the vendors at gun shows are from out of town and/or gunshow only dealers without an actual storefront?
The reason I ask is that I've been looking to buy an AR-15 for a while, and it seems like the best prices are to be had at gunshows.
Thanks!
