I’m already 45 days in waiting for the background check for my CCW.
This’ll likely make me have to wait the full ninety days. Fortunately by law, shutdown or not, they MUST either issue or deny within the 90 day timeline.
Here in Georgia, you only need to do a NICS check if you do not possess a carry license. If you have a CCW, no NICS check, just write down the license information, and you’re out the door. So a potential FBI NICS shutdown would only delay those individuals who haven’t gotten a license yet, which is pretty easy when you consider they’re issued at the county level, and you just go to the Probate court to apply.
