Purchase gun on 18th. Takes NICS 6 days to approve. Get gun 24th. When am I eligable for the next purchase?

30days from 24th

The clock starts on the day you take possession of the handgun, so start counting day 1 is the 25th..

30days from 24th

 

He got the gun on the 24th, day 1 in the count is the 25th..

2/24 (Sunday) so, 2/25

2/24 (Sunday) so, 2/25

 

Does Sunday have any relevance in the count? I would think not, the date on the P2P that he received the gun is what matters in the way I see it.

Thanks guys, it was a screwup because I bought one 30 days before the 18th, so now it's 30 + 6 for the fiasco.

Would be helpful if we knew on the 24th of which month you took possession if you want the next date you can purchase. The 24th of January hasn't gotten here yet so can't say it would be 2/25 or not.

What he is saying is that if 2/24 was his 31st day he'd have to wait til 2/25 to purchase since the 24th is a Sunday and you can't purchase on Sunday.

What did you get? And what are you getting?

The point I;m making or rather complaining about is that with this NICS F up, it ain't no 30 day wait. I purchased a Ruger Ray Ray,SBH, 12/18. Had to wait til NICS approved it 4 days later, then I waited 2 more days to pick it up. Because of the backlog I feel penalized. I needed a pistol for a training class this month on the 22nd, it ain't happening. I'm not going to a building clearing class with a single action 44 mag. If by chance NICS goes down for 2 weeks it becomes 1 handgun every 1 1/2 months. FNX 45

I had my FFL put my NICS through after 28 days figuring that it would take at least 2 days to get the NICS approval back before I could pick up my next pistol after 30 days or more. Unfortunately, that backfired since the NICS officer flagged my submission and told my FFL that I might get investigated by the state police for not waiting 30 days. My FFL smoothed things over and I ended up getting the approval and picking up my handgun on day 31.

Thanks for the post doc.

what kinda ruger?

And you could do the class with the 44 magnum, it's not like the gun is outclassed.
