That 10 day wait just never gets any easier

[EmmanuelM]

Just DROS'ed a Ruger 10/22 today, its already so hard and I'm not a day in...

Yeah it sucks, I am on day 6 of an 11 day for a Savage Mark II TR. Kind of funny that they make us wait on a Long Gun. I have heard that a Long Gun isn't even really registered to a degree......Oh well, just a couple more days

Picked up an SR22 today at 5pm, Turners said they had 7 left.

I think our very smart legislatures figure we would want to shoot someone with a new firearm, not an old one. Guess we should be happy they don't make us wait six months.

very true, I am sure in my lifetime I will see an extended wait time. and I will be saying " I remember when you only had to wait 10 days )

I get to pick up my new toy tomorrow! I've totally cooled off now. Lol

[JAGACIDA]

They had considered a 30 day wait at one time. Just an attempt to kill business and bust nuts.

[dtjester]

I gotta tell you, I don't think the cooling off period works...At the end of 10 days, my desire to shoot my new gun is even stronger.

No matter how many times you've been through it.

Just DROS'ed a Ruger SR22 yesterday!

10 days is the fig leaf that the Calif legislature wants to show the public that they have done something to make all gun purchases safe.

If it appeases that mass of morons who hate guns and who vote, so be it.

I have 7 days to go on my CZ 97B .45 ACP as well.

I have been through this about a dozen times as well.

- Colt .22LR Woodsman semi-auto pistol

- S&W 9mm

- Browning 9mm

- Ruger Mini-14

- Remington 700 7mm-08

- Ruger .300

- S&W .44 mag*

- S&W .22LR revolver

- Remington 700 .338

- Remington 700 .300 RUM*

- Mossberg 590*

- CZ 97B .45 ACP*

Of course, I have turned around and re-sold most of these as well, and then the other guy had to wait for the 10 day period. So some guns spend weeks and months "in jail."

" * " denotes the best and latest, and these I have ultimately kept.

Absolutely right. Even more so.

30 days would not kill business. You would just need to wait longer. No choice.

When I pick up mine, on Thursday evening one week from today, I will take the next day off from work, and head straight to the firing range.

That's my plan too on Thursday, the 9th

just buy another gun. that usually makes it easier. plus, when you pick it up, it is more enjoyable.

I just tried this..... its not working.... Now I have another 10 days. Maybe If I buy a gun every 2-3 days then once I get past the first 10 days I'll only have to wait 2-3 days to pick one of them up....

Don't give them any ideas...

my bad

[calif 15-22]

I've been on the buy another one 5 days into the hold . . .that way I get one every 5 days.

Pick up my XD-9 in OD Green and Black today at 5:47pm exactly 240 hrs after I paid.

Can't wait . . .
