Does that really happen? Where someone has committed a felony in the past - and a NICS doesn't pick up on it sometime during the transaction process in a gun store?Given its Chicago, there's literally dozens of ways a criminal could illegally gain possession of a firearm.
Off the top of my head....
*Private sale. (Yes, its possible)
*Illegal sale on the streets.
*Borrowed from a friend/family.
*6ÿ
*Stolen (There's dozens of possible circumstances). [Most likely probability]
*Arms trafficking.
*Bought from a gun store, and his felony was never reported to the database.
Any other means I'm leaving out?
From what I've read, I know that it can take sometimes upwards of a couple days for the NICS to be processed (I've personally never had to wait more than 15 minutes, though I rarely buy firearms from gun stores). Serious question.
