I have been approved. Go figure. Sometimes these checks are simply ridiculous. I have bought 5 pistols from this same Cabelas over the last two years. I don't blame them, it's the process. I'm in the system, they have checked me a dozen times in the past two years. I'm cleared for working with kids, I have state police and FBI clearances out the wazzo and I still get a "pending" in a background check. I even gave them my SS number this time to avoid any complications. Computer in, computer out, I should have been done in 10 minutes.
