15 day wait? update 3/27

[Takem]

I ordered a new handgun online last week. I went to my local ffl to pick it up today. Background check took over an hour and then was told I had a 15 day wait. What are the possible reasons for this? I bought a new gun in nov, bought another in jan and got my LTCF two weeks ago with no problems. Wasn't sure what section to post this in. Thanks

update:
bogus warrant in ny is the reason for my gun purchase denial. It's for a failure to appear for something I appeared at. I have the paperwork to prove it but PSP said thats not enough. I have a lawyer getting it straightened out. Worst part is the state trooper said she's having my ltcf revoked. Won't even give me time to prove its a mistake on NY's part. Just got the ltcf in late feb. How hard will it be to get it back? Can I reapply as soon as everything is straightened out?

It can happen for any number of reasons. I wouldn't worry about it until you get a letter of denial. I've actually heard a lot of people are getting delayed recently.

Either you were put into research or the system was overloaded. 15 days is what PA allocates as a time frame for the PSP to review, then deny or approve.

If you were put in research it could be for many reasons - of which may not be due to YOU specifically.

ok thanks. I can't see any reason to deny. I was told they may be very busy because of a gun show today and I was waiting over an hour. Really annoying regardless. I was hoping to break my gun in today. Even picked out a nice IWB holster while waiting.

System is overloaded right now I just picked up some guns at my LGS and it took about 45 minutes to get through

Yep. As said take it as system is just overloaded for now.

Day two. This is going to be a long 15 days. Is it 15 days or 15 business days?

2.3 million background checks for the month of Feb. according to the FBI. GOOD REASON?

[Takem]

Not good enough. They kept me standing there over an hour just to find out I have to wait. Guy walked out with a pistol right before me. I'd mind less if I hadn't already paid for the gun.

I was delayed once, if you put "jr,iii ect" on one form but not the other you will be delayed. It only took mine a few days
