Better than Alachua Co Fl. 5 day wait that doesn't include the day you make the purchase, the day you pick it up or weekends & holidays. So 8-10 days in reality.

How come every time there is a shooting, they want to take away the guns from the people who didn't do it?

Maine was a top destination state last year. Most of the people voting for this shit weren't here 5 years ago. Collins, Mills, Carney and King get to show their true colors now.

And why is it all these anti-gun laws are passed in the middle of the night?

I gave up my concealed license because we went to constitutional carry. But it's bigger benefit is that I didn't have to get a background check when purchasing a firearm. Now mind you I also have a TWIC card to access refineries with ports and I'm usually approved in seconds because I'm on a list.

Anyways, I end up shooting the shit with the guy that does my transfers for an hour and the check takes about 3 minutes.

I hate to break the news but no one is going to wake up. Even if all hunters were screwed all of opening weekend nothing would change. The few that care about gun rights are already awake. The rest are fine being told what to do.

Get Active or Get Disarmed! That means get involved in helping good candidates in primary and general election. That is in addition to being politically active once they are elected.

If he hadn't gotten himself banned from GD, Miami_JBT could explain to you just how anti gun the FL Republican supermajority is and how they constantly pass gun control or refuse to even vote on pro gun measures.

View Quote

That transfer wouldn't be affected by Maine law, since the transfer actually occurs in NH. There's no wait requirement from one FFL to another. In this case, KTP would transfer it from their ME FFL to their NH FFL, who would then transfer it to the NH resident in accordance with Federal and NH laws.

Yep

As a former FL resident I found NC gun laws are better than the Gunshine state.

Florida Republicans are pretty anti gun vs what most folks believe.
