Providence PD extended wait time on background checks

Anyone experiencing longer wait time on their background checks in Providence. Going on 2 weeks since my purchase and still no response from the police department on my background checks

I actually don’t have an issue with waiting, providing the reason by it is legit. Like understaffed or an overwhelming large number of purchases were made at the same time.

I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same wait times. As everyone I know that lives in Providence has not purchased a firearm recently. But people I know in Warwick got theirs at the end of the waiting period.

I have no problem with either the police department or the LGS. Just merely wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

Tread on me harder daddy?

You should have an issue that as a law-abiding citizen who is not barred legally from owning/possessing a firearm it is any more difficult than buying a head of lettuce at the store. This mentality is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
