I just stumbled upon this thread and I can say that it's been a major issue for me as well. I've been doing everything that I can to keep my customer's transfers on track despite the major sometimes continuous NICS outages. For the last couple of weeks, I've been up trying to run NICS checks as late as 1am and have several more than usual come back delayed. It's starting to settle down now that inventories are getting low and the initial wave of panic appears to be settling down. I expect things to ramp up again if this continues much longer though.
To add insult to injury, this has significantly reduced the time that I have for other tasks (like shooting, keeping up with the forums, and my son's LR build). I have been able to keep up with my transfers though and, short of a few customers who have been completely shutdown due to the state discontinuing PTC/PTP, I don't have anything pending pick-up at the moment (finally!).
This NICS debacle is totally unacceptable and, if you ask me, 100% unconstitutional! Especially when you throw in local laws requiring PTC/PTP when law enforcement has, allegedly at the governor's order, completely shut down the process to acquire these permits. The courts have also essentially shut down around here too and are only entertaining "extremely urgent cases" and you can guess where that would leave a 2a legal challenge.
