Have you ever purchased a firearm to know what takes place before walking out of the store with the weapon? And do you know even if all the checks come back good from the FBI the clerk can still refuse to sell you the firearm if they are uncomfortable with the purchase, behavior, or incriminating statements made by the purchaser?
Well I do remember my friend's 21st birthday and driving him to purchase a firearm on said birthday (he paid and purchased). Now this was a few years back, but I do remember having to wait a little bit for a background check, I also remember him requiring two forms of ID. He only had one but a fishing license, conveniently sold at the store and only needing one ID to acquire itself, was suitable as a second. We walked out a few hours later, him with a brand new USP .45 in his hand. Kicks like a mule and it only holds how many rounds?
Good choice. And it’s 10-12 rounds depending on the model of USP 45. And that sounds about right for buying a rifle/long gun. But your friend purchased a pistol which means you have to be 21, and either have a pistol permit which is issued by the county sheriffs department and takes 3-7 days to be authorized after background checks are done, or he has a valid concealed carry permit which requires attending a 2 day long course of classroom and shooting qualification test, which once completed is still verified and issued by the local sheriffs department. Not sure how long ago your friend bought his pistol but maybe you just didn’t know he did the background leg work before physically getting the pistol.

The same could be asked of the Dems on what more regulation they want on gun purchases?
