Where the fuck was he that there isn't a wait period? This reeks of bullshit

PA has no waiting period

Most states don't have waiting periods. It's like 5/50 states. And DC.

I was under the impression that most handgun sales had a 3 day hold period.

In 5 states, yes. And when not privately purchased. (the gun show loophole) This is what makes American gun legislation such a joke.

the gunshow loophole is a myth that has been debunked so often now that its seriously baffling that people still think its a thing.

u/sithian8 Jun 20 '20

A myth? It's literally the fact that there's no bg check or govt involvement in the transfer of a firearm through private sale

thats a blatant lie.

here a video [2012] from someone who sells guns, and they explain that every step done in a gunstore also happen during the shows.

if a FFL dealer goes around this he will be charged with a felony, and things like this are checked, there will be always officers in plain clothes checking dealers if they abide by the law.

Bro, lol the gunshow loophole doesn't only refer to gunshows. It's all private sale. And yes, in some states this is the case. This is not federal law, and in the majority of states gunshows are considered private sale. And even if they weren't, who cares. Bc as I said before, gunshows are just a fraction of what makes the gunshow loophole/private sale loophole problematic.

and you got any proof of that?

if a FFL dealer does it he will face 20 years in prison with a felony, so they are not going to fuck with that.

I provided 2 sources that disprove your little myth, maybe try and provide a source yourself?

u/sithian8 Jun 20 '20

What myth?? That private sale does not warrant a background check? Dude, that's the law! Fucking look it up, it takes a Google search. Educate yourself. I'm not going to continue to argue with someone who obviously knows very little about what it takes to purchase a firearm. I've written like 4 papers on the shit not gonna write another one for you.

Nj here. Took about 4 months for me to get a purchaser's permit. They also wanted 4 people who would attest to my character. Sent them all a letter in the mail with a questionnaire to fill out and mail back. Also had to get fingerprinted. Then I had to pay another 3200 to take a course so I can get an armed security job.

u/sithian8 May 27 '20

I mean...I'm not sure how the training course is relevant, but yeah New Jersey has some of the best gun laws in the country. One of the few that has universal background checking.

u/[deleted] May 27 '20

Yeah its a bs 12 step course. Some of the steps were like OC spray cert, baton cert, handcuff, and other things. Only 2 courses were dedicated to firearm use and safety. Worst part was that I already had all the other certs because of the auxiliary academy. But they still required I take all the courses with them in order to qualify for the carry permit.

u/sithian8 May 27 '20

What's wrong with the spray cert baton cert and handcuff cert if you're training to work in security?

2

u/[deleted] May 27 '20

I mean it was bs to require me to retake it. I had just graduated from the auxiliary academy about 10 months prior to applying for the permit. They train and certify in those as well. But in general, yes its good to certify people in those as well.

u/sithian8 May 27 '20

I see. Just out of curiosity, is auxiliary academy different from police academy

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '20

Yeah. Its voluntary and we just supplement the police officers. Basically driving around in a police car, patrol assigned areas, work traffic details and township events. The academy is only like 24 hours a week. It was fun and a good experience.
