Delayed gun purchase at Cabelas?

Went to Cabelas last night to purchase a shotgun. After filling everything out and waiting about 30 minutes the employee told me my back round check has been delayed for review and said it may take up to 6 business days to get a response. Does this happen often? The only thing on my record is a MIP from 13 years ago and I was in a bar fight when I was 21, 10 years ago, but was not a felony. Is this going to prevent me from purchasing a gun?

6 days is probably a cabelas rule
I really doubt that. Government says pass or not.

I do wonder if Cabelas drags their feet, like a super club sitting you at the bar. They are incredibably slow.

I was talking to dealer last week, and he did say it seemed like a lot of new people when he called, and how it was busy at odd times.

Ya sales have been up since Obama was re-elected. But I wonder if it is back door gun control. Cut staff and budget.

I have never been delay on a check. I am just saying I have been stuck waiting longer in the store, then I have been at other places. I have to wonder if it they are giving me time to shop.

That is totally possible and in most cases will work lol.

I was once arrested on a felony assault charge that was reduced to misdemeanor after court. I will most likely get delayed every time I purchase a gun. A bar fight from years ago still haunts me lol.

I have been on delay all 3 times I bought a gun there. Never been on delay anyplace else and I have a pretty nasty gun habit. I feel its there on line system, this seems to be a trend with them as other I know have experienced the same.

As other have said CPL cures the issue as it will most likely get worse as sales increase......
