Well let us know how it works out at the gun shop
I suspect and hope it will be a fast call in now that you have a number.
As a side note, there is nothing wrong with your alternative method of purchasing a gun... at a gun show.
As I've said, here in my state I can go into a gun shop and buy what ever they have without the background check...because our CWP is recognized as the back ground check..
This does not stop me from still going to gun shows and looking and if I have a few extra hundred dollars in my pocket doing a private transaction. At the gun shows here... it depends on the private seller as to what they ask for... some want proof of state residency and such... some just ask for the money.
keep in mind, in most cases.. my experience at gun shows is you will pay 50-100 bucks more for a handgun in a private sale than if that same gun was at your local 'retail' shop.
