    Pistol = Rifle (DOJ)

    I own a rifle and a shotgun and will soon acquire a handgun, hopefully. Is the background check the same for all firearms? I'm sure they are but I wanna double check before I put money down. Thank you.

      Same check, but you need to be over 21 years old.

            I believe he is right. They do not have the manpower to check every firearm registration. So they "spot check" them.

              Really. Well that explains why I've purchased firearms without a hitch, and then this last one was held up for an extra day for no apparent reason.

                  If you buy a gun outside of California from an FFL. They call your info into a data center and your approved or denied right away. It seems that California, with their infinate wisdom can't do this right. Most of the time people cry more about their form 4's taking 2 months to process.

                  The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
                  The others, well......they just never learn.

                      Wasn't the implementation of NICS responsible for justifying the changing of the 15-day wait into a 10-day one? DOJ definitely uses NICS.
