My wife wants to gun hunt for deer this year, so I bought her a new youth model .410 last night at a local gunshop as an early anniversary present. To make it officially hers, she filled out the 4473 herself. I had her take her CCW permit, in order to exempt her from the NICS check. Well, lo and behold, they don't exempt anyone from the NICS check anymore. And to top it off, her transfer was
DELAYED. What gives there? We had to drive all the way home emptyhanded, and she was really anticipating shooting it today. The dealer said that if they didn't hear anything sooner, we could pick it up on Thursday, November 4.
I'd bought her a Remington 870 20-gauge youth shotgun with fully-rifled slug barrel a couple of years ago, but after 5 slugs through it, she refused to shoulder it again and sold it. Hopefully this .410 will be more to her liking.
