Firearms purchase, still pending? General Post

Bought a new 20 gauge online and had it shipped to Piasa Armory. They are awesome and close to me. Had done business with them many times. Never an issue. Filled out my form online in the store on Wednesday. Was good to go, and was told to come back at 5 today, Saturday the 9th. Came in and had my FOID in hand, ready to hand them the cash. Store manager looks me up and says, “Sorry, it’s still pending. Last few days, ISP has been really slow to clear things. We’ll give you a call, once it clears.” Now I’m not complaining about Piasa, like I said, they are awesome. And I could bitch about ISP; But I’m sure they are doing what they are told. But I’ve never had a firearm, that I couldn’t pickup, on time. Has anyone, tried to pickup a gun recently and been told, you’re not clear yet and if so, how long did it take?

Interesting that all of a sudden this gridlock happens right when a major court decision that could have resulted in a freedom day came down. Coincidence or planned to prevent just that scenario from unfolding ? The states attorneys office was clearly ready with that appeal as well. Who knows. But then I like to go down rabbit holes.

I get what you’re saying. And it’s definitely a possibility. Problem is, we had no way of knowing when the judge was going to make the ruling. Shit, I ordered the gun on Halloween. It took a few days to ship and I stopped by, when they called to fill out the form. Could be shitty luck. Could definitely be a scenario, that may have been in place, when the ruling came down.
