Hello Everyone
I have a question. When you purchase a rifle or shotgun and fill out the paperwork does the gun shop do a background check on that purchase like when you buy a pistol? I live in Ohio.

Hello
Why do I get a delay when I buy a pistol and have to wait the 3 days to pick it up? And not with a rifle or shotgun?

Maybe OH, has a 3 day waiting period?

PA doesn't.  Move to PA.

No 3 day waiting period in Ohio. Only if you get a delay on the background check than after 3 days if nothing comes back the dealer can sell you the gun.

Weird.  I have a check done Saturday for my M1A and he was on the phone for about 2mins.  He even said that was the fastest check he's done.

In Georgia, background checks are done over the telephone and take all of about 20 seconds.  Sometimes, there's a delay and it might take anywhere from half an hour to three or four hours.  If you've got a Georgia Firearms License (a concealed carry permit), this is accepted in place of the background check.  No goofy waiting periods here either.
