I know one fellow who gets delayed by the instant check. Seems his file is flagged. Turns out it is flagged because he has a security clearance.
You might be surprised about what is, and what isn't in their database.

Just about everyone I know and work with has a security clearance of some kind. A whole bunch of us own guns. I have never heard a complaint. Heck I even bought a gun today. The background check took approximately 75 seconds.

I don't think I've ever seen an authoritative answer on exactly what will cause a "delay" followed by a "proceed" on a background check, or what effect a security clearance has on the process. I've got an active TS/SCI clearance from the DoD, and have bought about ten guns while the clearance has been active, and I've never gotten anything other than an immediate "proceed" response from the background check, even when the system was being slammed by multiple large gun shows on the same day, or when I bought multiple guns in a week's time.
