I did a quick search but couldn't find too much info. Quick question, I just recently got my FID and want to start shopping this weekend. I am wondering what to expect as to the procedure for the purchase, are there forms to fill out, is there a waiting period...etc?

 

Any info would be awesome!

 

Thanks Guys.

I assume that you are talking a long gun, since a handgun requires an additional permit.

 

No waiting period. One federal form (4473), and one state form (Certificate of Eligibility - COE) to fill out and then a NICS check (@ $15) and you're GTG.

 

Adios,

Yeah I am just looking to get a longun for now, I didn't realize the requirements for a PP until after I had received my FID, so I submitted my forms for 3 PP's while I was there.

 

Is the procedure pretty much the for handguns?

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

Exactly the same + filling out the PP paper.

No COE for a handgun. The PP takes the place of that.

Thanks for the help guys!

 

I appreciate it.

Thanks, was wondering about this myself. I knew about the 4473 but not about the NICS and $15 fee. I thought the NICS check was the 4473 form.
