Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Government shutdown?
They tell me that the federal government is shut down. But honestly, I don't see any differences in my day to day stuff. Anyone else being affected by this?

Yes. ATF is not processing F2's and F3's at a very slow rate, which is affecting sales and transfers of Title II firearms to other dealers. F1's and F4's aren't being worked at all.
At my day job there are people who need to give me information/direction on bugs submitted for the information systems and applications that I support, and they aren't there.

Hmm, are the NICS call-ins still being processed for transfers?

FBI NICS is up and running, though delays are more frequent and for the few customers who don't have CHL's we're on hold more.
Licensing and NFA are down, tracing Center is running.

Interesting, got this in an email today:
Beginning Monday, January 21, 2019, the NICS Section will receive customer service calls from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday.
This is going to totally screw with gun shows.

Does that mean they are not accepting call-ins for the NICS checks during weekends? Or calls outside of that function?
Well, so much for the Second Amendment being a right "of the people" instead of a government controlled privilege.... 
Quite frankly, I have always felt that the federal government has absolutely no jurisdiction over a gun dealer selling locally within state lines to their customers. But that is just me, I guess.

Dealers can use eNICS 24-7 but connectivity at gun shows is hit or miss. I also don't use it as I don't exactly trust putting customer data "on the wire". Probably because of my day job, data security is big and I store all that on an encrypted local drive.
