My daughter is in RI and looking to buy a rifle for an event on April 27. She had a loaner rifle lined up, but that has fallen through. If she went to D&L in warwick and bought a rifle on the 15th will she have it in hand by maybe the 25th? I see the police have 7 days to either approve or deny an application. Do you always get the results in 7-8 days? I guess the wild card is when the dealer sends the application to the police? What is the average time to get an approval?

Thanks for the info. If she gets it by then her BF can mount the scope and install sling swivels. Might not get to zero it before the event but they can do it there first thing
