Delayed only means that he has to wait 3 days till he can pick up the firearm. Denied means that he can not purchase it. Here at Gander we make the customer wait 8 days.. just in case NICS calls back w/ a denied response. We've had NICS call back several daysafter the customer has picked upthe firearm (after the 8 days... only required to wait 3)w/ a denied response.. in which case the customer gets a visit from the authorities. But as long as he hasn't been denied.. then he should be able to purchase the firearm.

We have several customers get delayed all the time.. sometimes from their own records.. or for whatever NICS deems necesary. It can be something as simple as your name being similar to a felons.. or the phase of the moon for all we know. I've had customers get delayed time... get approved another time.. then get delayed the next time. Some time w/o ryme or reason. And some people get delayed every time...
