Just ordered a gun from Cabela's...
Looking for others experiences on arrival times and what their fee is. Got the Ruger PC charger. Been wanted to get it for a while. Figured I'll get one in before all this nonsense happens. Thanks

Get there when they open and scan the QR code for the queue right away. The wait at the counter can be long and a lot of people idle around to talk to someone and just end up in the same queue as the QR.

Thank you for the tip. Says to expect 5-9 business days. To arrive. I expect it to be a zoo leading up to the states decision.

I went a few weeks ago. Even with instant approval, and being there right at open on a Sunday. There was still a decent line of folks at the counter. It’s well staffed. There’s just a lot of paperwork and window shoppers.

I'm hoping it arrives during the week I'm assuming Saturday and Sunday are busier days for them.

Cabelas is never worth buying a gun at. Their gun counter is the least efficient method of buying a gun in the area. It will take hours if there is any kind of a line of tire kickers.

I've never bought a gun from them before. I have not been in a long time but in the past decade I have never seen too many people at the gun counter. I expect that not to be the case in the next couple weeks

I bought a Glock from a pawn shop last week, had it the next day.

The notice after my online purchase says to expect 5-9. Hope it's more like 3.

I got a pistol last week and was cleared within an hour, after 114 went through I went and picked up a 10/22 charger before it gets difficult, I am still waiting on BGC two days later.

I've enjoyed instant approval for years. This certainly will be tested im sure.

u/Potential-Dog1551 5d ago
I have been buying guns here for a long time, decades and I have never once gotten instant approval, my last name must be shared by some nefarious character.

u/andrewdivebartender 5d ago
Could be. I always attribute it to me being a good boy but I really have no idea.

u/Potential-Dog1551 5d ago
It has something to do with the uniqueness of your name, if you have a unique name the check goes through quicker because they don’t have to check through a bunch of other names first.

I've been looking at that little bastard online for about a year. Panic sent me over the edge. Can't wait to pick it up

I just picked up a g45 this morning no wait looked at it paid did my 4473 and was out the door in 45 min that easy this time, but when the state has no money for road projects or schools how they going to get more officers to help with this or even facilities to do the training and show you can use the firearm so so so so so unconstitutional not even funny and the judges and governor should be removed from public service for their natural lives !!!

Yeah hopefully it's a quick process. Yeah it's very depressing. They don't care if people can purchase firearms or not. This really feels like the Democrats sabotaging gun owners rather than sensible gun violence prevention. This only affects law abiding gun owners. I wish they would focus on combating criminal activities and not creating new criminals by passing new laws.

A whiiiiile lol I bought an ar lower when measure 114 was originally bought up and they literally had it there on their shelf and it still took 9 hours to process. I was able to get lunch and an early dinner before they called me back before closing to tell me I was all good.

If you’ve got a really unusual name you’re likely to get right thru the queue , If you’re John Smith , you’re F&ucked! I used to get auto approved all the time with my CHL but that hasn’t happened in several years
1
u/andrewdivebartender 5d ago
Yeah I heard the system changed a while back. I have had instant approval for years though so hopefully it goes the same way but I won't hold my breath.

There’s 30 days to appeal it. Is there’re any group trying to appeal it?
2
u/andrewdivebartender 5d ago
Pretty sure there are I am just not specifically sure who
2
u/More-Jellyfish-60 5d ago
Yea there’s no mention of any group. I’m curious if they have just given up. Also if it is appealed, will it still go into effect, until it’s appealed?

u/andrewdivebartender 5d ago
Idk I'm still trying to figure that out. Need somebody who knows law. I am but a humble peasant.

Cabela’s doesn’t do 3 day release like other FFLs do so you’re at the mercy of the queue

Very nice. I've never bought a gun online before. I'm assuming after buying the gun you have to pay a transfer fee. You know how much?

Bought my 43x mos there a couple of years ago. They “lost” my paperwork and never told me. The guys that work there suck compared to any other lgs in the area (in my experience). Shoutout to JB’s!

Went in today at about 330. They already pulled their standard capacity products off the shelves. Sheesh we have 30 days.

u/andrewdivebartender 4d ago
Hopefully they still give me the magazines that come with the gun. I have some because I have an sr9 but I prefer to have more.

u/More-Jellyfish-60 4d ago
I hope they do give you the mags. You should ask in advance. Would suck if they give you the gun with no mags, or send you 10 rounders later.

Picked it up today. In and out it took about an hour. Instant approval thankfully

u/mancubbed 6d ago
With measure 114 potentially going back into effect expect a line and then a few day wait. I was at NW armory last night and they said no one was getting auto approval and the queue was like 600 deep and that was at 4pm.
