In Florida that comes with the CCW. The Florida CCW allows you to avoid the waiting period, not the background check.Â* As far as charging for a background check, that is up to the FFL but it's doesn't cost them anything so most don't charge for it. No waiting period in MA as long as your permit is current and valid. The "background check" done at time of purchase is simply a check of the MA criminal data base to make sure you haven't been convicted of a felony or other reason to disallow a purchase since the permit was issued. The full, FBI background check is only done every six years, once when you first apply for a permit and then upon your renewal, six years later. When you purchase a gun, the paperwork is transmitted to the state at the time of sale. Only takes a minute or so and the results are returned, approving the sale or not. I think they do the instant check here if you have a CCW but whatever it is, it is pretty quick. When I bought my Ruger KP90 I filled out the forms, went to pick out a holster and get some ammo and by the time I got back, he was wrapping up the transaction. Without the CCW it would have been a wait and another trip back. |
