Plenty if you seek out PPT and consignments. Otherwise 1 a month would stifle me. I currently have some 14-15 day waits going on due to FFL's being closed for Reno show and my scheduling.

I think it's when you dros, it makes it seem longer. If you dros on a Friday, you basically have to wait 2 weekends and possibly pick up on 11th day as many FFL close on Sundays.

Dros on a Monday or Tuesday, basically wait til "next" week.

A solid! theory, my good man. I have experienced the phenomena you speak of. It is uncanny.

For me, however, it was the significance of the newest chambering I was anticipating... the most recent three had been long-awaited pieces: a near-new 1968 Marlin 336 "Texan" saddle ring carbine in .30-30, a stainless Marlin 1895GS .45-70, then this stunning! value of a Zastava-made long-action Mauser in .375 H&H.

Is the entire state under the one-in-thirty restriction? Just handguns, or also long guns? Haven’t bought guns in CA since 2016.

It’s the same statewide. 1-in-30 for handguns currently, has been for years. It also applies to semiautomatic rifles starting in July.

Face to face PPT and FFL03 holders are exempt.

I'm on a multi week wait for a stainless Marlin JM 357 mag 1894 due to being cheap and stacking up guns at the FFL to do them all on one DROS.

I rarely get excited about gun purchases I buy so many it's like buying groceries to me but I've been getting some super good and grail type ones recently where the wait was a little bothersome.

Ammo shortage makes me ration ammo even more. It's also fun to find an ammo bargains these days. I still do on the obscure stuff like 16 gauge. I can't even find a deal on unpopular stuff like 32 Long.

I agree, not an easy wait..BUT you can shop for the next purchase and buy upgraded parts. Congrats on the purchase.

Maybe take a vacation In the meantime, when you come back you get too pickup ...

10 days to stew about a stupid law that makes no sense for folks that already own guns.

"Cooling off" period makes me angry.

Buy more during the waiting period! I have 7 to pick up soon and 2 more I purchased today.
