The wait begins-Colorado

[gwpercle]

just for sake of argument even if you stipulate that waiting three days for your first firearm makes some kind of sense, which I dont agree with, how does it make any sense at all for any subsequent firearm purchases to have to wait 3 days, you already have a gun, so if you were going to do anything you could have done it already with your other gun or guns.

You're missing the point ... it has nothing to do with making sense.
The idea is to make it as hard as possible for the law abiding citizen to become armed .
It is much easier to control / enslave a nation of unarmed citizens ...
Armed men tend to fight for their freedom too vigorously and the left can't have that .

There are very few states any longer that don't have difficult gun laws. All caused by those evil who caused multiple gun death's. It is primarily only the law breakers that don't abide with laws in effect that do the deeds that cause this to happen. It is only those of us that do our best to follow the laws that get harmed and inconvenienced.

The last I checked Ohio is still gun friendly. No additional state laws regarding purchase and possession beyond Federal law. Carry has only improved since I left, is now permitless concealed carry.

No more 3-day “cooling off” period?

"Cooling Off" period is waived in FL if you have a CCW.

Forgot to mention that while “approved/denied/delayed” notification comes back in mere minutes the stupid law still requires three days before the buyer can come back to pick up the firearm. Won’t accomplish anything as we all know.

The next tactic is to make it so "the computerized system" becomes mysteriously defective. Common phenomena in California.
Worm wood.

FL has had waiting periods forever. A wonderful leftover of Jim Crow.

Don't confuse the left with any form of logic.

The 3 day wait law is an inconvenience. The new law making it easier to sue dealer/ manufacture of a firearm is effectively causing smaller dealers and ffl holders to not do business in CO.. This overrides federal law and hopefully will not stand.

It's not an inconvenience if you are a battered person, with an out of control husband or boyfriend, who is likely to disregard a court order and attack you. You might need a gun and need it now!

Yes, I agree with what you are saying. I was speaking of my own situation I suppose.

Waiting Period

Like it or not the west coast states are all blue now. The Rocky mountain states are following the same pattern as people migrate from the west coast inland. CO, NV, and AZ are all going to be blue in the future. The transition is already happening. You can't escape it.

Our waiting period is 10 days. We have a UBC and a 10 rd mag limit.

I just live with it because I'm too old to move.

I worked in Colorado Springs and Alamosa in the 70's. I loved it. I would live there now except it's changed.

The state police are now doing the BGC.
Got the OK on my last revolver, in two hours.
That, is some progress.

And so it begins...

A custom rifle was delivered to Liberty Firearms Institute today. They efficiently processed the delivery and contacted me. Drove there on a Friday afternoon, it wasn't bad, inspected my purchase with pleasure, and passed my 4473 check. Now I wait until Monday at 16:00. Then Moms Demand Action and the Governor say I can have my purchase because those 72 hours ensure I will not harm myself or anyone else with it. I really wish global warming would change Wyoming's winters with greater rapidity. No big stress here, but definitely annoyed by the stupidity of the situation.

For what it’s worth, Wyoming’s winters aren’t nearly what they were 25 years ago. Sometimes they’re just plumb balmy. Liberty Firearms is quite a place. Used to visit it often back when I lived in Laramie.

You call that a wait, Colorado?

Washington State says hold my beer. The WA folks will get 10 (ten) mandatory business days wait for all gun purchases January 1st.

Not that there are many types of guns possible to buy here. Imagine somebody waiting 2 weeks to cool off for a Sig FCU purchase. You know, so he/she/that may change 'their' mind if was buying that FCU to kill self. In WA more than 75% of gun deaths are suicides, way above the national average.

Such is living in the beautiful Socialist State of Washington.

I know, I know, I feel for those Americans in more annoying and restrictive situations. I am only beginning to know how good I had had it.

22 hours to go

So, anticipation is overwhelming annoyance with positive energy. Planning on bringing a new shooter to the range tomorrow and picking up my purchase after creating a new shooter. One of us, one of us, one of us....

My first Colorado wait gun was this very nice Savage 99 circa 1940. I paid for it at 1 pm on Tuesday. So - 1 pm Friday, right?

Nope. It was at Cabelas and they start the 72 hour clock at midnight on the day of purchase. So I had to get it on Saturday.

Well,

I did not take my old friend to the range yesterday, not quite enough time. However, we had had a great visit at our home and I showed him my modest collection. He had never touched or handled a handgun before. He is a very smart and capable person, so it was easy for him to appreciate the design and manufacturing genius embodied in firearms prroduced by S&W, Colt, Sig, CZ, Springfield (1792), Remington Rand, Underwood, Standard Products, etc. He asked the best questions and had a great time.

After he left, Honey, the dogs and I went to LFI to pick up my 72 hours "safe" purchase. The governor and Moms Demand Action were probably smart to make me wait. Cold and rainy tomorrow, so dark-retro and I will go to the range:

Shot those 50+ years ago, ours were capable of full auto then.
