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.


It may be that if you have a LTC or other permit (if required) the
waiting period is waived because you have already had a full background
check.

That said, based on the websites I've looked at, a permit is *not*
required, nor is any proof of training to purchase a unregulated
long gun in Maryland. Perhaps that's when a waiting period is imposed?

Anyway, the point is that the recent Maryland shooter did not require
a permit to purchase the shotgun he used and was likely only subject
to the quick criminal background check they quickly do by phone. If the
court issues he previously had with his beef with the newspaper were
dismissed, there was no criminal background.

There were never any charges brought by the paper to dismiss. We don't
really know the details of the harassment charges but the cop I saw
seemed to blow it off as I assume the rest of the LE establishment
did. I really haven't been watching much of this because we are
keeping the TV off these days.



Based on what I read (which obviously may not be accurate) *he* is the
one who sued the paper for defamation. It was his lawsuit that was
dismissed by the court.



Are CNN and MSNBC still blaming Trump?



Haven't watch any live TV for the last two days. Sick of the
political horse****.


Tiger Woods is on now. Makes for a pleasant TV experience.
