wait is like. Be sure to keep us posted with

Just curious, but how long do you have to wait when you purchase a firearm in the US. Can you take it with you when as soon as you pay for it, or like us in australia, where we have to apply to the state firearms registry, which takes about 4 weeks and a $30.00 fee, for them to issue a Permit to Aquire.

Buy it and take it home. And muzzleloaders are not classified as Fierarms here so we can order them through the mail;

You asked the question in general so the answer depends on whether we are speaking of a modern cartridge gun or a muzzleloader.
It also depends on what City the person lives in.

Generally speaking, the laws dealing with cartridge guns require background checks (usually free). In addition to this check, some Cities require that the person gets permission from the police. Some require a proof of a need to own the gun. Some flat say NO WAY.
Other Cities don't require anything beyond the Federal background check.

With muzzleloaders the Federal laws do not apply. Local laws vary greatly with some saying NO, while others treat it like any other common tool.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) by definition don't consider a muzzleloader a gun. It is a gun only if it's capable of firing a modern (self-contained) cartridge.

To make my post read more correctly, replace "City" with "State and or City".
For the most part, each State sets up the requirements for gun ownership and sales within it's boundaries.

Indeed!...Each state or township can set regulations as long as they don't run afoul of the 2nd. Amendment.
San Francisco found this[url] out...again[/url]! :grin:
As restrictive as California is for instance, it still doesn't violate the basic tenant. There laws just establish what arms you may bear. One can argue if this in its self is a violation of the right.
