    Default Government shutdown nics

    On the news they said if the big g shuts down no license to carry get processed. Made me think that nics will be down and no gun sales either. We use pics so I'm wonder what will happen. Any body know? I have not read any posts about any of this here. Is it going to be deer in a headlight or nothing at all?

    Think of it as a 3-day waiting period.

    Nothing will happen. NRA even posted the following on their Facebook page on Sunday, as well as on NRA-ILA website regarding it. If NICS will be up, so would be PICS.

    NRA-ILA has received a number of questions on the status of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in the case of a government shutdown. Law enforcement activities are designated as essential services and do not shut down even if the Congress and President fail to agree on funding legislation. The NICS system will continue to operate.

    Think of the government shutdown as a really big teachers strike.....ment to alarm and inconvenience you until you beg them to get things going again no matter what the cost.

    Greetings,

    PA LTCF is processed by the State of PA and the county sheriff where you live/apply. Any federal shutdown would not affect this. They can certainly come up with enough reasons to delay things already though.

    Regards, Jim

    I hope they shut down the rest of the year, I won't be paying taxes for the period they have shut down, I'll come out ahead in the end.

    Actually.. it good that this country is going through this process. Hoping it is shut down for a while. The country will be fine and it may motivate the "takers" to do a reality check and think of ways to stop suckling at the tite.
