Well we just got the first Basspro shop in cali right down the street from my house. So I finally got the itch to get my guns. I went in on Monday to get my first shotgun (Mossberg 12g 590) and now I get to pick that up on the 10th. Then after getting my handgun lic I went back on wed to get my first handgun. I have shot Glocks and there ok, they feel a little cheap and really didn't work for me. So I was looking at the S&W 9m sigma and they were nice I was warned they were a cheaper gun. So I went ahead and picked up a SW M&P 40cal, came with 3 clips and case. I really love the size and weight of this gun. I can't wait till the 12th, so mark another socal memeber on the forums! Oh and I hate cali 10 day wait time, I can't wait to move to AZ

Welcome to the site...

WELCOME! Great info on this site! I know.. i have 7 more days to pick up my SIG P220. I already have nickel controls for it and everything... I think the wait gets easier after your first gun purchase!

What is amazing is that you have to wait 10 days even when you have other guns already. :roll:

How does that work if you have CCW, do you still have a wait period in California, or throughout the US? I know here in Louisiana, I can buy and walk away with a gun in a matter of minutes, that's without my CCW. Someone once told me that if you have a CCW there is no waiting period, but I ts been so long ago and I really cant back it up either... Just curious.

In California, there is astill the 10-day waiting period even with a CCW.

well when you buy a gun from basspro shops it's 11 days

 

[choochboost]

Why is that? Are they closed on the 10th day?

 

[FieroCDSP]

Just to make sure they didn't miss a day. :roll:

 

[choochboost]

That's total crap. The DoJ clearly says ten 24-hour periods. I would call Bass Pro on it.

In Florida you take the gun home with you if you have CCW, Takes about 10 minutes.

Welcome to the site from another SoCal member. BassPro is not the only gun shop that makes you wait 11 days. The DOJ inspectors that check the records are so CS that they do that to protect their license.

Welcome to the forum from Central Kalifornia. I still have 7 days before I can pick up my next handgun and I have a CCW. Some of the dealers in this area also make you wait 11 days. I think DOJ advises them to do this so that there is no possibility for them to release a gun early. My dealer sticks to the 10 day period down to the minute.

 

[choochboost]

I don't know why its so difficult for these dealers to determine when 10 24-hour periods are up. Unlike many firearms laws, this one is spelled out for them. 7 more days for me.

Congrats on the new guns coming. Your on your way to a gun collection.

Need to move to a free state so you can buy as many as you want with no waiting period.
