Someone got that started. We contacted them this morning and this was the response right from the people at NICS...

Please be aware that the NICS Contracted Call Center (NCCC) will still be fully operations and accepting background checks this weekend. During the timeframe of 12:01 am ET, Saturday March 28, 2020 until 8 am ET, Monday March 30, 2020 , instead of getting a response of, “please hold for further review” and being transferred to an NICS Examiner, the NCCC representative will provide a delay status and the Brady Transfer Date. Again this is a result of the increased workload and modified staffing schedules due to the COVID-19 protocols and is only temporary.

Saw That Afterwards...

Thanks for the reply. One of the local shops was having a tough time over the last week+ with contacting NICS. Unable to log on & phone attempts would be disconnected.

we don't use the e-mail system. More problems

than with the dial up system. They answer fairly quick but then they put us on hold and that is taking about 3 hours to complete the transfer. We take their info and tell them to go have a long lunch and we call them when the call is finished. Other than the long wait we haven't had any problems.
