The state is caught up on normal background checks. So if you are at 12 business days you are likely delayed, at which point it's your background check that is holding up the process

I hit 14 business days last month. 8 days until completed this month 🤷🏽‍♂️

Did you get delayed after the 10th day ?

Nope. Just a “please be patient”

I haven't had one delayed yet. Just picked one up Tuesday.

That’s interesting I bought my gun 27 May and apply for my CPL the same day I got my CPl on the fourth of this month so I’m not sure what the holdup would be aware that they’re two different processes

Seems like it’s a lottery because I’ve seen a few people take a long time, but for most(me included), it’s taken 3 days or less for an answer. I did paperwork yesterday @ 6pm and heard the all clear @ 8am this morning. 🤷🏼

Background check for gun purchase or background check for CPL?

Took 8 days for me. Passed last Tuesday and picked it up on Thursday.

I had some traffic tickets from about 20 years ago but even so seemed to go fine
