A friend of mine with an FFL just told me that the NICS system is being shut down temporarily, all weekend.
He shared this post, and stated he also received the email. He is an FFL.
While I trust this person, can anyone else corroborate this, or post the full text of the email?Just got the word that the FBI will be shutting down the NICS, disabling the firearms transfer process for the entire US!
The shut down is due to begin at 12:01am Saturday March 28th!
The news release states "temorarily" (until 8:00am Monday March 30th), but this means no one in the country will be able to complete a firearms transfer all weekend!
Notice states... "This means, when calling in a NICS check, you will be given a status immediately, to include delays with a Brady Transfer Date, and not transferred to an FBI Examiner for further review."
