I respectfully disagree, Mike. Although I admit that this is TOTAL speculation on my part: I bet that they do shut down the NICs check because there are actualy human beings that the firearms dealer talks to and those lines are open 24/7, as far as I know. I can not believe that the Feds would consider that an essential government service and keep them open. My best friend is a pilot who works for US Dept Interior fighting forest fires. He's been given notice of layoff in the event of a shut down. If he's not essential, how can the background check people be?????
