I've had my eye on a Sig P239 for a while now. I've never owned
a Sig, and yesterday I decided to rectify that. I motored down
to a local dealer who features the Sig line and bit the bullet,
so to speak. I filled out the paperwork, and my dealer called it in.
I went outside for a smoke, and when I came back in I was told
I was put into delay status.
Well, this is the third time (in a row) in three months that I've been
delayed on a firearms purchase. I got ticked off enough the last time
to fork out a little cash to have my background thoroughly checked,
as well as my credit history. Everything checked out fine. I'm clean
as a whistle, but I already knew that. Anyway, I'm really starting to
resent this, enough so that I almost backed out on yesterday's purchase.
The dealer told me it's buggin' him as well, as he has noticed a substantial
uptick in delays - not denials, just delays.
I'm just real curious if any other THR's are experiencing the same headache
that I am. I'm about ready to jump through the VAF application hoops, but
I'm wondering why I should have to take it that far. This is America, right?
Last time I checked, the 2A wasn't dead and buried yet. Let me know what
ya think, if any of you would care to. Thanks for the time. Just had to vent a little.
