In truth, I won't even get a chance to shoot it for ~3 weeks, but it would have been nice to fondle it a bit earlier. Anyways, it's not a big deal but it just frustrates me when I try to be the reasonable guy and then get the rough end.

And while the store did forget to call, ultimately I blame Colorado. My previous state (FL) had a 3-day wait unless you had a CCW. In that case, you could walk right out on the same day. The CBI in CO doesn't make any sense to me, but then again, I guess I'm preaching to the choir.

The 3 day wait is federal, but there's a catch: The wait doesn't start until the check has been processed and a DELAYED response has been received. CBI being too backed up to be able to enter your request for a week does not start the clock on the 3-day federal delay deadline.

Since when the hell has there been a federal 3-day wait?!? I want to see a link on that one. I've had a CWP for a number of years so maybe I missed it, but the last time I bought a firearm over the counter (and before I had the CWP), it was a 15 minute wait on the phone and I walked out the door. That was in the late 90's in AZ.

If there's a federal wait, why would they waive it for holders of state issued CWP?

Yeah, I definitely need to see a link for that one.

I believe he is referring to a three-day wait consisting of a three-day limit on the process. The dealer is able to provide your firearm if the federal background check is not completed within three-days. This is different than the Colorado system.

Well hate to break it to you sunshine, BUT there has been a few shootings in the past few months that riled up the empowered (in their minds) fed & state .govs. WHO (SURPRISE) have decided to enact another AWB. NY just cut the balls off gun owners, in case you missed that bit of news too.

I called....I was next in line but they shut down shop at 6 so I'l have to get it for when they open at 10AM... bah

After 8 days mine came back with "delayed Status" The shop owner said they had till Tuesday, to clear it or explain why its delayed. We even called and offered my social # in case that would help and they said it wouldn't

The 3-day I referred to is the 3-days delayed can proceed rule for NICS checks. Not a mandatory 3-day wait regardless.

Sorry for any confusion, but with our waits to SUBMIT checks running a week or more here in Colorado, the 3-day proceed has been of interest, and that was what I focused in on and thought you were asking about when I responded.

Okay, I'm with you now. No, that isn't what I was referring to. In FL, there's a 3-day wait (without CCW) to purchase. You walk in, fill out paperwork, pay your money and walk out. Three days later, you go back and pick up your purchase.

It took a month to get my new friendly looking 308 bolt gun in to my FFL, I filled out the form last nigh, he said 7-8 days. I have been patient this long might as well continue. I have no patience, not one of my virtues, but this has been a life altering experience for me and will be a better person now. [Coffee]
