The laws governing the purchase of a shotgun in Florida are stricter
than those in Maryland.
I bought a shotgun in Florida back when we wintered down there after
we found a 4-5 foot rattlesnake coiled up at our front door one day.
Like Maryland, they did a quick telephone background check, rang me up
but I had to wait several days to pick it up and take it home.
Maryland lets you take it home the same day after the quick phone
background check.

Are you sure about that? I've never had to wait for anything other
than the background check and that only takes a few minutes, if that.
Filling out the form takes longer.
California used to have no waiting period for long guns, only handguns.
Not now, all have 10 day waiting period. I remember buying my Remington
1100 San Francisco Gun Exchange. Yes SF used to have gun stores. And
they wrapped it in brown paper and handed it to me. My Ithaca 37 from
monkey ward, handed to me with a box of gratis shells.
I am trying to remember the last gun I had to wait for. It was
certainly a while ago if ever. In Florida a CCW gets you out the door
as soon as the NICS check clears and you get the paperwork done.
I really have not bought than many guns tho. Nothing like Harry the
gun dealer or our resident collector.
The last handgun I bought from a store up north was before the GCA68
at Ye Olde Hunter in Alexandria and I think you just paid the man and
left with it. It was a half a century ago tho. I may be wrong ;-)
I wonder if anyone still has those records?
When I bought my CZ Scorpion some months ago, I walked out of the store
after paying for it in no more than 20 minutes. Just the quick NICS
check. It's usually five full days of waiting for a handgun.
What! No back story. Are you sure that rifle wasn't owned by
Buffalo Bill or one of the former presidents you are chums
with?
Scarlett Johansson rubbed it across her naked breasts when she found out
I was going to buy it.
