Ok, so the current wait time is 10 business days. Which is actually 14 calander days. I would love it if local PD would just respond in the proper amout of time. I mentioned 20 days for people that just don't get a response. The reason is because I actually had an incident where I let a customer pick up a pistol after 10 business days, that still hadn't received a response from the local PD. About 4 days later, after the guy already had the pistol, I received a "Denial" response. Even though I had followed the rules I felt terrible that I had given the guy a pistol. Local PD told me to try and get the guy to bring the pistol back or they would have to go retrieve it. They told me even though I was following the law I should not have given the guy the pistol until they responded.
I will not make my regular customers, that have bought from me before and always get a "proceed" wait more then 10 business days. Only people that are new, and don't get a response. This is just to start and my policy may need to change after we see how things go after July.

...They told me even though I was following the law I should not have given the guy the pistol until they responded.

This is the dumbest bunch of horseshit I've heard in a long, long time. (Not directed at you, Brad.)

If the LE agencies can't turn responses around within the legislated timeframe, then either change how they respond or change the law. Don't suggest that a denial of rights because the system is broken is anywhere near a reasonable solution. Citizens shouldn't take it in the shorts just because gov is fucked up.

That's what I was thinking when I read that.
WTF?
It's apparent that a portion of the population is not worried about our Natural Rights.

Here is what we need to do. In the first week of July, go to a gun store and buy a gun.. Flood the system. Also, take a buddy and sell him a gun, then an hour later, have him sell you a gun. Flood the system. Thousands of gun owners (which is a small percentage) doing this would break the whole system.

Maybe we should have a thread with a list of gun shops that are known to uphold the LAW and a list of ones that are on a justice crusade and holding guns forever.

I am a legal owner that has a valid permit. I had my permit renewal held "hostage" by offices that were not doing their job in a timely manner. Im not interested in buying a gun and having it held hostage by a private dealer because a GOV employee is not doing THEIR job in a timely manner.

I will take my bizz elseware.

Believe me I am super stressed out about how all this new stuff is going to effect my business. I have a feeling business is going to be slow after July 1st. At least at the begining. I talked to Pierce county and they did tell me they are going to hire anther person (hopefully more) to deal with the increased workload. I'm going to see how it all pans out the first couple weeks and adjust from there. Like I siad my regulars or even someone that has bought from me before don't have to worry because I already know they can pass and so I will just wait the 10 business days and release. I definitely don't want people to start saying "Don't go to Brad's, he holds guns forever". I wish I could just do a NICS check while people wait, and send them home right then, with a smile on there face. But the state has other plans for now.

You can always follow the law and release the gun after the TEN days that the state has to do their job.

Agreed, make LE do their job, and if they can't, it's on them to fix it. Don't punish customers for the .gov's incompetence.
