So I let a friend borrow one of my 1911's (RIA compact tactical) and a holster to OC last weekend and now he's hooked. He went out to Bob Moate's Wednesday afternoon after finding out they were the only one's local who had the same RIA that I have.
Filled out his paperwork and was delayed. He says that they told him he was delayed until 3/20. That sounds odd to me, I thought that if you were delayed you were delayed, didn't know they could tell you when they would get around to finishing your "instant" check. I told him that my understanding was that they could legally transfer the gun to him after 72 hrs, but that not all stores would abide by that.
So has anyone heard of getting a dated delay? Has anyone had any experience with Bob Moate's and the 72hr rule, or are there circumstance's that nullify the 72hr thing? I know this guy isn't a felon, I've known him since we were in high school. He does have a DUI from a few years ago, and had a concealed weapon charge that was dropped (not sure if it was dismissed or nol prosse'd, but the court kept his revolver.)
