Is that 10 days the waiting period?
If so, that's crazy. I bought my pistol a month or so ago and the waiting period was about 10 minutes.
couch:
Yeah, its ridiculous here in CA. Heavy restrictions and an absurd amount of time to have to wait. If I really wanted to be violent I sure as hell wouldn't go buy a gun at a gun shop and have it registered in my name. We also have a 10 round max per magazine here which is another reason I'm going with the Glock 27 9+1
I understand why there's a cool off period and I back it. But 10 days? What a crock of shit. We also have to wait thirty days in between buying handguns. Why? No clue. I think the cool off period is fine for your first gun. Shoulsn't be the case for the 2nd or third and so on. Why go buy a gun to handle business when I already have one? Hello! The people who make these rules are retarded. Next election I'm voting for a technocrat.

Arent they running background checks on you during those 10 days?
couch:
They are, however I can't see it taking ten days when anyone can call any of the local agencies and say a name and find out if they owe money, have a warrant, commited a crime, etc etc etc. I called LBW and gave them my name and had them run it, I also gave them my social to double check. They didn't ask me who I am, didn't request any personal info, didn't question why I was asking, nothing. It must be even easier for the "professionals". Especially with computers. Other states run background checks but it only takes 2-3 days.

My background check took 10 minutes here in Idaho at Cabela's. You fill out a single form, they call whoever the hell, and you're good to go.
I also don't believe your guns have to be registered.
