By telephone. Under ordinary circumstances, less than five minutes. It often takes longer for them to get connected than it does to complete the check.allinhtown wrote: Also... (if I decide to pick one up at the gun show, how do they do the NCIS check there? Doesn't it take a few days?)
Thanks again!

Re: First Purchase
After looking around at gun shows or stores, as the other responders have mentioned, what's wrong with renting a few, for educational purposes, whether the facility offers Sunday classes or not?allinhtown wrote:What would be the best way to buy my first firearm? Online? Or at a local store? After a quick search I found a few decent websites, but are there any recommendations for local shops? I don't have my CHL yet, and I know I will have to get the NCIS check anyway... but given my schedule (not available on Saturdays to take the class) It seems more feasible to get my firearm first, then take the class. (none of the places that offer gun rentals offer Sunday classes)
While just handling a gun will tell you quite a bit about how it fits your hand, only firing it will tell you the most important thing (cleaning it will tell you the second most important thing).
