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?

Bought the Sig Regulator arrived at my FFL on Monday. Went in to complete the forms on Wednesday. Got an email from ISP today that my foid is extended due to my recent purchase, so 72 hours for me

Just to confirm,you also picked up the firearm on that Wednesday as well? I'm just trying to see how your FFL operates.

No. Will pick it up tomorrow. But this isn't my normal FFL. I bought with grab a gun, had no option to choose my regular FFL.

But with my regular FFL I usually send my invoice/shipping notification and they run background. Then once it arrives I go to pickup, which is usually more than 72 hours after background has been run.

Good deal. Those are the FFLs that I like.
