I finally received my CCW license from King County after 29 days, and went to a store in Puyallup to buy my first handgun. After filling out all the paperwork and paying (they wanted the payment before they checked), they called it in to NICS or whoever they call. They said that it was "delayed" and I would have to wait up to 10 days before I could take my gun home. I thought the CCW background check covered all of that, but I was told that there could be "federal restrictions". Where can I find out information about these restrictions? I'm well north of 50 now, but I made a few dumb choices when I was a youngster, and spent a few days in jail for a minor misdemeanor. Is this going to stop me from buying a handgun from a licensed dealer? I know that I can buy from a private party or gun show without a problem in this state, it seems ludicrous that the only restriction would be buying it from a licensed dealer, especially when I have already been approved for CCW.
