I don't believe there is a waiting period anywhere thats why they call it instacheck, here in TN we just go into a gun store say we want that one and they make a call and its yours. We don't have to take it to register it or nothing and if you sell it to another person all you have to do is get the money get a reciept I make them show me ther drivers lic and copy it on the reciept. thats it.

In MN we pick the gun, show permit to purchase or ccw and take the gun home.

Mine took about 7 business days. In MN they can take 30 days if they really want to.

I'm sure it varies state to state. All I know was my state and, more importantly, county was very fast.

bugs, my license took about 5 weeks to get back to me, but that had 2 holidays in there(Thanksgiving and Christmas). Figure about the same time frame or a little more and then you can be pleasantly surprised when it comes sooner. Yes that was in Florida, just the end of last year. From what I have heard, they are swamped with applications. Technically they have 90 days in which to respond or send your license. FYI. Good luck nad let us know when it arrives.

No waitin' in Texas, you just wait a few minutes for the background check. If you have a CHL, you don't even wait that long. They don't have to make the call. :thumb: :zzz:

I get sick everytime I read these posts!!! 
Consider yourselves very fortunate. In states that dislike gun ownership (ie: Illinois) there is no CCW and you must wait 3 days from the time to you pay for a hangun and one day for a rifle or shotgun before you can actually take it home.

I have to take issue with that, at least here in Texas. If you listen to your dealer when he makes the call, the only info asked for is whether its a handgun or long gun. Serial numbers are never mentioned or even brands or models. I suspect thats nation wide.Taurus_Jeeper said:
Even the 4473 you fill out stays with the dealer. :thumb:
Now your state may have state and or local registration laws, but most do not.

What do you think the first thing will be done when they ban weapons?
Seize all the bound books and then start knocking on doors.
Sounds like a registration system to me. Granted, it's not in a computer system (that we know of), but it's registered just the same.

I agree there. Being in the military I have lived in many states to include California. I am so glad I no longer live there or the guns might suffer. Colorado is pretty easy going. No permit needed to buy, you can open carry, and a CCW took about 10 days and $152 to get. I just bought a new gun today that I picked out today, no waiting, except for the background check which took about 30 minutes. That's nothing to wait.
