THREE DAY DELAY: rather than an approval or denial, the background check results in a notification that the retailer must delay the transaction for three full business days before completing the transaction. The FFL holder, typically a firearms dealer such as a sporting goods store, refer to this delay by using the term "NICS Delay."THREE DAY DELAY: rather than an approval or denial, the background check results in a notification that the retailer must delay the transaction for three full business days before completing the transaction. The FFL holder, typically a firearms dealer such as a sporting goods store, refer to this delay by using the term "NICS Delay." The three day count does not include the day the check was initiated, Saturdays, Sundays, or state holidays. The entire transaction is purged within 88 days. If the FFL lawfully transfers a firearm after the three business days expires, and the NICS system later determines the transaction should have been denied, NICS notifies the FFL and contacts ATF to handle the case as a firearm retrieval referral. Approximately a tenth of one percent of NICS checks are referred for retrieval of the firearm.
