    Default PICS and waiting....

    Does anyone know why some people are instantly approved in PICS and others wait hours for a manual review?

    I know the long delay is a manpower shortage (by design) but why are some people automatically approved?

    I don't have a common last name and my background is squeaky clean. Like squeaky clean to the point where I wonder if I've missed out on life. I haven't even been pulled over for speeding since like 2006, and then I only got a verbal warning. (Side note...I definitely need to get out more)

    The last time I went through PICS I had lived in PA for less than a year. Could that make any difference?

    That might be your problem. Operator sees empty RAP sheet and says, "No way this is legit", and puts you into the long line.

    Alright.... I am going to run some yellow lights on the way home and see if I can't lower my social credit score.

    It'll be a double win because chicks dig bad boys.

    Maybe the FFL you're using has something to do with it?

    I'm not sure. It's always been instant for me, but then my Polish last name is quite unique.

    Bass Pro and a local shop. Both had delays.

    My name is pretty unique. Though I do get emails from some kid's teacher in Wisconsin who insist that I am in his math class because this kid has my name.

    He flunked his last alegbra test.

    PICS thinks I'm bad at math?

    I should email this kid and help him with his homework just so I can buy guns faster.

    I have a unique name and with the exception of one time (NICS was down for more than 24 hours), my background comes back in less than a minute.
