  • The FFL I chose said my background check has been delayed when I asked a question about it I was told my federal background check passed but the state of Illinois is what’s being delayed how can I confirm if there is an issue with my background check I don’t have a criminal record what should I do next?

  • Hi Andre, if your information closely resembles that of someone with a disqualifying record, it may require further investigation. This includes similar names or dates of birth. By law, if a delay is not cleared up in 72 hours, the FFL may release the gun to you, but he is under no obligation to do so, as this could lead to legal issues if the applicant is later found to be ineligible. Some FFL's choose to err on the side of caution and hold the gun, others will release it.
    Stay safe & have a great day!

  • Unfortunately, you just need to wait the 72 hours for the results. It does happen frequently. 💯‼️

  • I wouldn't worry, in my commie state of NY, even Police Officers sometimes get delayed.

  • Your state will finish and release any holds on your background check within 72 hrs. There's really nothing to do but wait. Sorry

  • Good evening to you!! Unfortunately all you can do is wait the 72hr period. The state of Illinois should finish your background check and release it within 72hrs. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day.

  • Hi Andre and welcome. Delays occasionally happen. With no record, delays are released within 72 hours if no particular reason comes back during the wait time. The only option is to ride out the 72 hours. Cheers and stay safe!
