If no exceptions to the NICS check apply, must an FFL always wait 3 business days before transferring a firearm to a transferee?
No. An FFL may transfer a firearm to a transferee as soon as he or she receives a “proceed” from NICS (assuming that the transaction would be in compliance with State law). However, if the FFL does not receive a final “proceed” or “denied” response from NICS, he or she must wait until 3 business days have elapsed prior to transferring the firearm.
