PICS puked...

Am I just not finding posts about PICS being down this afternoon or was it only affecting my little corner of the world?

Hung around for over an hour, no calls going through. I was at a local guy here in Birdsboro.

It worked for me around 1230

It went down right after that, right around 1300. The guy in front of me was the last one to get through.

Dead in Bucks from at least 12:30PM until we finally gave up around 2:30PM.

Buyer and seller drove to FFL for nothing.

Duke of dumb question here: what is PICS?

The background check system?

PICS = Pennsylvania Instant Check System

As you correctly point out, it's PA's state-level background check system for firearms purchases.

PICS puked at the last Oaks show on Saturday.

I just tried and got through (6:45 PM). I could not get through from 1 PM on.

It seems to me that this would be a fine class-action suit. Every gun shop in the state lost their entire Saturday (peak hours every week) business to this little outage.
