How does the waiting period work?

[Doc8404]

It is currently three days?
Is that from payment to pickup?
4473 to pickup. Can’t be that.

its ALL ABOUT CONFISCATION!

4473 filled out. If you get a delay, it's 3 days for the feds to get back to the ffl with a proceed or deny. If no response in the 3 days either way, you can pick up the item.

FUAC wants a 10 day wait no matter what. You can get a proceed while standing there and have to come back in 10 days to take possession.

I understand the Fed three day if not immediately approved.

So this is typical bullshit smoke and mirrors.

 

[Doc8404]

There really is no delay then. Correct?

 

[garyv350]

Not smoke and mirrors. He wants us all to wait. Just to make it difficult. In the rare instance the feds give a proceed and call back a few days later and reverse it, the item will not have been taken possession of.

poorly. (how come there's no mike drop emoji?)

There is currently no 3 day waiting period.

There is currently no 3 day waiting period.

Only if 4473 is delayed.

No, he somehow wants there to be a NY state delay as well- i.e. if you get a three day delay, in NY your FFL will be required to wait ten days.

How that f'ING works is beyond me.

 

[Doc8404]

That’s what I thought. And the intent of my thread.

Close it up LOL.

The FFL will check the portion of the Ammo Database and go from there.

It's an expansion on the Federal rule of if after 3 days there is no "proceed or deny" the FFL can, at their discretion, go through with the sale. Cuomo is trying to make it so that rather than 3 days, it's ten days until the FFL can proceed. This IS NOT a ten day waiting period for everyone who gets a proceed the day of purchase. It's still bullshit though.

Thanks. That’s what I was thinking but the article sucks.

Then again, I’m not close enough with an FFL that would release during a delay.

I assume "during a delay" here you're referring to the extra seven days? They can't and shouldn't do shit without "proceed/deny" during the federal three days.

This whole thing is actually a bit clever by at least half on Cuomo's part. ATF has a history of not going out looking for firearms that were sold post-delay by FFL's because *nothing at all* ever came back from the system, but went to "prohibited persons" as it turned out, after the fact. How the fuck they know that I have no idea, why the fuck they don't act on it, I have several ideas.

What I don't get is who is supposed to being doing what during those seven extra days since ATF won't be doing shit and your FFL will be sitting with unsold product.

Ah, answered my own question.

Most FFLs will proceed after the 3 days are up. General rule of thumb is if they dont get back to you it's an approval but they are to lazy to call
