| Saw a shottie that i'd like to pick up later today (at work now) but I won't be able to get to the store after 10pm (store closes at 11pm) Will they be able to call in a NICS check at that time of night? |

NJ = No NY = ?? Why would east coast states be good to go except NJ? Doesn't the phone call (NICS check) go to a federal government employee? If they're still at their desks at 10:30pm EST, why can't someone from NJ call? Because NJ FFLs place their NICS phone calls to the NJ State Police, who charge the FFL for running the free Federal check. Hey, this is Joisey! Why would you expect the NJSP to be any different than the rest of how this end of the gulag is run? |

NJ is a Point of Contact state. See#1 below. NJSP charges $15 plus sales tax going through a 900 phone number.
The NICS is a point-of-sale system for determining eligibility to purchase a firearm in the USA. Federal Firearms License holders are required by law to use the NICS to determine if it is legal to sell a firearm to a prospective buyer. The NICS determines if the buyer is prohibited from buying a firearm under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
The NICS is applicable to sales from federally licensed dealers. Sales of firearms by private sellers are allowed to proceed without a background check unless required by state law. These regulations remain in place at gun shows, where no special leniency is granted to licensed sellers, and no additional requirements are placed upon private sellers. Each State determines the extent of its participation in the NICS process. Three basic forms of State involvement currently exist: 1. a POC requests a NICS check on all firearm transfers originating in the State; 2. a POC requests a NICS check on all handgun transfers; licensees in the State are required to contact the FBI for approval of long gun transfers; or 3. the State does not maintain a point of contact; licensees are required to contact the FBI for NICS checks on all firearm transfers originating in the State. The FBI and the POC agencies always check three major Federal databases, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the Interstate Identification Index (III), and the NICS Index. A POC may check additional State records. A check may include contacting an agency that maintains a record that the FBI or POC cannot access directly. After a search, the checking agency responds with a notice to the licensee that the transfer may proceed, may not proceed, or is delayed pending further review of the applicant's record. ETA: NJ doesn't allow the online NICS or even a digital Bound Book. Everything must be handwritten out. |
