    Default NICS Delay

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    Recently I went to a gun show and tried to purchase a handgun. I am 27 years old not a felon am not under disabilty for anything but they currently have me on delay. I'm pretty sure it has to do with me being arrested 3 yrs ago for a concealed weapon but I was released and never charged (although they did keep my piece). I do have a DUI (about a yr ago) and a possession charge (marijuana 7+ yrs ago) but am told that those offenses would not hinder me from puchasing a handgun. How long will this process take for a proceed or denial decision to come back? I am aware that the NICS gets hammered on Saturdays from the gun shows. Its been 2 days and haven't heard anything yet.

    The selling dealer running the NICs check can sell you the gun if NIC's doesn't give a denial within three business days.
