Hey guys,
Just went to pick up a rifle and two handguns from the FFL I had them transferred to from Buds...
He refused to release the handguns to me citing the three day waiting period. I explained that the guns were ordered and paid for over a week and a half ago, to no avail.
These are Xmas gifts, and fortunately he's open Friday and I can pick them up then. Because of that, and the fact I'm not 100% sure I'm correct, I didn't make further issue of it.
But I've read the statute carefully. Clock starts ticking upon "purchase"- meaning transfer of money to the seller. The guns were fully paid for- not a deposit- at the time of order. I don't see how him collecting money for the FFL transfer prevents the clock from ticking until then. I believe I should have been able to leave with my handguns (I took the rifle).
Any legal beagles out there?
