Dec 2014

and even so, the wait is imposed for handguns & "assault weapons" in only one (1), Minn. A few (including FL!) impose a delay for handguns only. I can't link, but the source is from a pro-gun-control entity with the slogan "smart gun laws."

There is No fed waiting period beyond the time for the NICS bureaucracy to work, say <30 mins?
