removing the purchase delay in WI law

[protias]

Actually the cooling off period is supposedly the time it takes for the DOJ to get a response from NICS if there is a hold on the back round check .Sort of like NICS OK to transfer after a hold in 3 days if no response . I've had that happen on a couple of customers with common names and or skeletons in the closet but no felonies

But that makes no sense since I can take a long gun home the same day, but not a handgun? Seems rather weird.

I know we have some FFLs here... any insight into the "reasoning" of BATFE?


Unless it was used in a crime (including being stolen by police ), how would anyone know?
I'm sure it happens frequently with people with criminal intent,
less frequently with average citizens (some of whom may not know better).
Or how would BATFE prove that I bought a pistol in another state, as opposed to receiving it as a gift from a friend?
(It would, of course, be smart to get something in writing from the friend at the time of the gift... but it's not necessary, so how would they prove their claim that the pistol I own was bought illegally?)

ATF? Reasoning?

As for the last part of your post: nobody would know, unless you told them. Quite honestly, though, the easiest way to not have to deal with the wait is to buy private party. No waits, no hassles, no getting your name on the list of NICS checks (the gov't isn't supposed to keep the names that are given to them during the checks, but I definitely don't trust them that much).
