Oh no, you misunderstand. It's sitting at the FFL for almost 3 months...paid for and ready to go...

You are correct! I did misunderstand...

Are you in MD? If so, how long is the wait period there normally? I know VA is instant, unless you get delayed, and even then it is usually approved by the next day. I have heard of the rare instance where someone is delayed for a week.

Good luck with that.

What's more irritating is technically, the FFL has the right to release the firearm to you after 7 days, regardless of MSP's completion of your paperwork. The FFL opts not to because they don't want to lose their license if MSP takes up issue (as in, MSP will find a reason not to renew the FFL's license, even though it is a completely legal transaction described in clear language).

What's even more irritating than that, is that you can go to almost any corner in Baltimore right about this time at night and pick up a Springfield .45 - no paperwork required. I'd leave the Z at home for that trip...

What I have read from several FFLs is that they did not want to be the target of any legal action should they release a firearm to a purchaser after the 7 day period to find out that some whackjob takes out a family or worse and then they are taken to court for liability because they were disapproved when MSP finally ran the NICS check. Even though it would fail, the costs associated with defending themselves would likely be tremendous if not catastrophic for some of the smaller FFLs.

Makes sense to me. HUGE liability. I will not do a private sale to just anyone either. If I do not have direct knowlege that they have recently been allowed to purchase a firearm legally, I will not sell one to them. The only exception that I will make is if they have a USG issued security clearance, and even then it would be rare.

I have only sold a few in my days, because of the liability. I have been known to trade some in to the FFL that I was using to buy my next firearm.
