Welcome, I wasn't aware of these boards, I hunt in VA and am a member of the IWLA-Arlington-Fairfax due to their excellent gun\skeet\trap and indoor bow ranges, looks I will be a regular visitor to your board also.

Background checks for gun buys taking longer

Prospective gun buyers in Virginia are waiting longer for background checks to clear their firearms purchases.

Gun advocates say the waits -- which, in some cases, used to take a matter of minutes -- can now take several hours to several days depending on the time and location of the purchases.

"This is not acceptable," said Philip Van Cleave, president of the pro-gun nonprofit group, Virginia Citizens Defense League.

The Virginia State Police, the agency that administers the checks, acknowledges that there has been an increase in processing time.

Officials say it is tied to increased demand for firearms at the same time that budget and funding constraints have reduced the number of staffers available to handle the transactions.

Some pretty sorry stuff there. Hopefully, they'll get it straightened out soon. My last background check (6 months ago or so) took about 3 hours. I talked to a guy the other day who was trying to purchase at a gun show and ended up giving up on the background check after waiting for 7 hours and canceled the purchase.

Yep - and I live about 5 miles from Maryland, so I do have occasion to come your way. Unfortunately, I have to totally disarm before doing so.

I'm hoping to be there, but unfortunately, my schedule doesn't allow me to plan ahead very well.

welcome! I live about 5-10 minutes from Mayland as well depending which bus I get stuck behind on Rt 1...


FYI, I purchased 3 handguns in the last 2 weeks, all checks came back within seconds of them submitting them online.

Welcome to MD Shooters.

One of the nice features for members on the VA Gun Owners Forum are avatars for being a member of certain organizations, like NRA, GOA, etc. Could one be added for Maryland Shall Issue?
