I have a second handgun purchase permit that will become valid late next week. Can I buy a gun and have the dealer hold it for me until my purchase permit is valid? I will be out of the 30 day window late next week. Another idea, can they post date my purchase permit paperwork and submit it once the valid date hits? A store has a gun in stock that I want, would hate to lose it waiting another week. Thoughts?

make a payment put on lay away

 

i have done this with no problems

 

 

they just cannot do nics and all that until ogam is full filled

maybe they will let you put a deposit on it to hold it there? if they know you have a permit and are just waiting for OGAM to expire, they may do that for you

Stores can hold it until you get a permit ie wait your month, if they want to. The not thing the state cares about is when the actual transfer of the firearm takes place. Post dating Oscar bog no no, as its unlawful to transfer before your month is up AND the permits must ve filed within a short timeframe.

I have one paid for sitting with a dealer waiting for my 30 days to run. I would not think a dealer would post date paperwork and et you walk out with the purchase without doing everything legal. If the dealer is at a gun range, they May also let you shoot it on premises while you wait for your permits to clear.

you can do that. You can pay for it, they put it away in their safe, and you only come in to do the legal transfer and NICS check once the 30 days have lapsed. Just don't initiate the NICS until that time.

Done this several times. Either you pay in full or place a deposit and when the OGAM period is done get it.

 

No dealer will take the papers and post date it. You bring in the permit when you can use it and they start NICS that day.

 

Did that last purchase.

Stoped by the store two weeks before the permit became good.

Put a deposit on the pistol.

Came back the day the I could use the permit. Filled out the NICS paperwork.

Came back when NICS was approved, filled out the rest of the paper work. Payed the balance.

Easy.

Remember you can pay for it anytime you want. You just can't take possession.
