This happened today: I did a DROS for a gun I had shipped to an LGS. They called, I went in right away. This is a well-regarded shop, and they're good guys. But the DROS was submitted at 3:30pm 4/2/2025. So I should be able to pick up on 2/12 after 3:30, right? They didn't give me a copy of the actual DROS paperwork, but that's when it was completed/submitted, and I'm pretty sure the guy said to pick it up the 15th.
The time it is exactly 240 hrs is a Saturday, and I can definitely understand quoting the next day, Sunday (they're open), just to provide a safe margin. But Tuesday? (they're closed Monday.) I can't figure out the reason for the extra, 12th day. The only thing I can think of is that they're very busy on Sat and Sun, and don't want to do the final handoff then.
I don't want to be a d*ck, but I want to add this gun to my CCW, and I'd like to have a range session with it before I qualify. Am I out of line to show up on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning, when the legal 240 hrs has been satisfied?
