4 days and still waiting ![]()
Odd. I purchased on Sunday and picked up yesterday but got the approval notice Wednesday AM.
From National Instant Check System
10/24/2025: 181 submissions are currently in the queue. We are working on (Thursday) 10/23/2025 work.
Might want to check up on it.
Can I check on the NICS? If so, how?
You can go on https://www.njnics.com/
I did my NICS today around noon, the GS just called to tell me Iām good for pickup. not bad 5hrs or so.
I was considering to pick something up this week⦠figure to see what the wait is:
1 week backlog with another holiday coming this week.
Iām not so sure their assessment is always correct, I have applied for backround check and looked at the Que there were 1500 stacked up and it comes back next day, it is the holiday though.
I love how the government thinks āinstantā means 5-7 business days. sarcasm
Does anyone know what happened to the NJNICS.COM website? I wanted to look up some data and the site is down. It would be a shame if it was gone as there was a huge amount of data there.
I get this error:
Disk full (/tmp/#sql-temptable-29a-3ae79a-14dad.MAI); waiting for someone to free some space⦠(errno: 28 āNo space left on deviceā)115
Someone dropped the ball managing things, Iād suspect theyād get it fixed tomorrow.
Thatās what āheā said ![]()
