10 day wait period

[calnurse]

When you purchase a firearm in CA and the ten day wait period starts, actually how long does the retailer find out if the DOJ says yes or no to proceed with the transaction? I was just curious since I purchased my Taurus.

I have heard that if the DOJ says no, you will usually hear about it around day 4. Though I have also heard that it only takes about an hour or less to do the check.... so I guess whenever the DOJ looks at your form, and decides to let the FFL know is when they will hear about it.

There is no effect. The only people it affects are law abiding citizens

what about people with a special weapons permit? they dont have to wait 10 days.

[chillincody]

no i have to dis agree the effect would be i find out let say someone sleeps with your wife u find out and go im gonna kill you both you have to wait 10 days .during the the ten days you come to your sences and decide its not worth it with that being said i think you should only have to do it once like other states because if you already own a firearm a cool down period is stupid and like i said its retarded if you want to commit a crime your gonna 10 days or not so i guess my opion is its good but needs to be refined and if your a law abiding citizen is 10 days REALLY that bad man

[11b_vet]

10 days blows. it makes no sense. but like always the minority dictates what the majority rule.

[chillincody]

exempt people are likes law enforcement or dealers etc .... because of their training and classes same reason why they can get ccw permits but your average joe better have a epic reason to get one and training

[chillincody]

yeah i agree man it is stupid the whole time you fill like a kid waiting for x mas lol

If i am mad at my wifes lover, and I don't have a gun, I will get a knife/car/poison/pen/fist/foot/stick/piece of rebar/etc. and go kill him.

What if the government put a 10 day waiting period on anything you wanted to say to someone, and on top of that, they have to approve what you will say? You are a law abiding citizen, is the 10 day wait really that bad? How about if the government quartered soldiers in your house for ten days? again, it's ten days, is it really that bad?

Look at it this way... how long does it take a Law Enforcement Officer on the
beat to get your background from radio dispatch...?

Well... about that long.

It's a asinine, ridiculous, stupidity of CA gubbament and what THEY call a ten
day cool-down period. Their lame-arse excuse is say; your neighbors dog
squeezes a tootsie-roll on your yard... and for stupid who knows what
reason... you run down the local gun store... buy a gun... come home and,
and... well, I can't say it... but you know.

Now... but what if I already own like 20 handguns...? Why... WHY in the
name of does a guy what already has guns have to wait ten ridiculous
days...?

Don't try to answer, you will hurt yourself... it's just stoooooooo-PID...!

10 day wait sucks. there isn't anyway around it. but i wouldn't mind the 10 day wait if we were allowed to have AWs.

sad we have to do that.

[chillincody]

lol wow military in my house isnt even the same area and poison knifes and stuff you stated how many people are killed by those compared to guns world wide man and beside i think you missed the point i fill we should have to do it only once

[chillincody]

totally agree their zirconjohn

that is like saying you would be happy to let the police search peoples houses without warrants... as long as you got to keep your right to remain silent

AWs would not make the wait any less stupid. Even the background check is stupid. If a citizen can not be trusted with a gun, he should not be on the streets. If a person can be trusted in civilization, he should be afforded all of his rights. (but if we go too deep into this we will get into the muck that is the new felony laws, where anything can get you perma banned from owning guns.)
