What constitutes "10 days"?

[Soldier415]

In the DOJ's world the Earth revolves around them - not the sun.

and Mercury is in retrograde

[odesskiy]

Turner's did it to me before and so did Gun World in Burbank. They just want to cover their asses.

The way the "11 day rule" was explained to me at big 5 is that they don't process the DROS until the 24 hr background check passes. They probably actually do use this policy to avoid conflict over time, as stated before, though.

isn't the background check instant?

big 5 most likely makes you wait 11 days because their corporate lawyers make them do it. perhaps somewhere along the line they got busted giving delivery of a gun at 9 days, or an hour before they were supposed to.

I need to learn basic arithmetic again. 19+10=29. It SHOULD be the 29th.

The background check is instantaneous.

Many stores make you wait till the 11th day so they don't have to deal with people coming back on the 10th day before 10 24 hour periods have expired (i.e. coming in at 10AM when the period is up at 2PM).

[randy]

The FFl can make you wait 30 days if they want. The 10 days is the minimum state law.

[SmithAndJohnson]

If the law said 10 days, you'd be correct.

But the law says "10 24-hour periods"

:P

[tenpercentfirearms]

WTF? Half of the threads in here are full of crap.

I cannot release a firearm to you until ten 24 hour periods have gone by.

I do not believe the background check is instantaneous. I have never received a denial in the same day, ever. That's not to say other states are not instantaneous, but I definitely do not think we are.

Please show me a law where I as a gun dealer must release your gun exactly ten days later. I am sorry, but if I am not open on Saturday, I am not coming in to give you your gun. Period. That is it. Sorry. So if a gun shop wants to hold onto you gun for 11 days, they can do it.

Personally I wouldn't shop at a gun shop that wouldn't let me take my firearm once I am lawfully able to during regular business hours and we most certainly like to deliver guns 1 minute after your ten 24 hour periods are up.

Then again, I only shop at Ten Percent Firearms because I get everything at cost and do not have to wait the ten days anyway. I get long guns instantly without DROS and handguns after about 5 minutes of DROS!

Thanks Wes for lifting the veil of misinformation on this thread. Regarding this:

Sometimes it's good to be the king.....

[dasmi]

10 consecutive 24 hour periods, as was already stated. Some ffls to the 11 day thing to cover their butts.

[GenLee]

No, the time matters. If you buy a gun at 12:35 you can't pick it up till 12:36 ten days later

Correct......my last DROS i showed up 20 mins early, and had to go get a burger across the street till the clock chimed 4.36 pm

[WallySparx]

that's why i always like doing my ppts at a ffl with a shooting range. the wait is that much shorter when you have conjugal visits.

That makes complete sense if you aren't open for business on the 10th day. But if a customer comes in on a regular business day and the ten 24 hour periods have passed is it legal for the shop to say you'll have to wait longer because our policy is a 15 day wait?

then call the doj, the batfe&a, and your loacal police.

report the ffl as in voliation of state and federal laws regarding gun laws,
and the loacal police to report a stolen gun.



as for buying any guns (maybe not the splurge ones) i all ways try to plan it so i have the day off and the store is open on the "pick up day".

.

[liketoshoot]

So many differant ways to do it.
My FFL's rule is 10 days x 24 hours + 10 minutes.. He says that since it is on the computer the 10 min is just for HIS protection, and as he gives me good deals I'll gladly wait 10 min. more.
