On June 14th I purchased a firearm at Nexus Shooting in Davie Florida after paying for it I paid the $5.00 for the background check I have been on a decision pending since, it’s now July 10th and no change. Since 2015 I have had over 19 firearm background checks with no problem I also have a CCWP. I have called them 4 time and e-mailed all I get is the same answer they don’t know how long I have to wait. In a search on the internet I found out about a lawsuit by Florida Carry so I joined up several days ago let’s see how all of this is going to end.

Unless things have changed in FL since I lived there, in Florida the dealer is authorized to sell you the firearm if after 3 days there has been no determination or or outright denial from their background check submittal. So unless they can show you that you are actually denied they can just give you the gun you paid for.
Something fishy is going on here and since you already bought the gun it’s time to start making some noise. I know Nexus and I used to shoot there when the place was brand new. GREAT range but the management in general struck me as a little “arrogant” for lack of a better word, so I can see them setting their own parameters and defying the norm by holding on to the gun until an actual answer from the government, even though they don’t have to and quite frankly that’s a BS move if that’s the case. I would stop calling and emailing and go to the store and make sure you talk to a manager and demand to know WHY they are holding on to the gun you already paid for.

Hi Carlos,
Are you a Florida resident and is your CCWP from Florida? If the answer is yes to both questions, then something really seems wrong. An internet search says Broward County requires a 5 day waiting period in addition to the Federal 3 day for a total of 8 days, but you are past that.
Good luck working with Florida Carry

Order it online and have it shipped to a friendlier FFL, I would talk to the FFL to verify their background check policies before picking them. There is lots of supply out there, but here’s one with free shipping, $367.49
