C&R question

[dcar_roll]

I finnally sent for my C&R about 4 wks. ago but now I have a dumb question! If I buy from a pawn shop,gun shop,gun show,etc. I don't think there is any waiting period. I just get to pay,sign and go?

Not quite. The gun in question has to be C&R eligible, you have to abide by the local laws for a FtoF sale. You can order C&R guns and have them shipped to your house without going through a FFL.The real key is the gun has to be C&R in the first place. BATF will provide a listing of eligible guns ( Google Cruffler.com, tons of info ).You and your wallet are welcomed to the dark side. O C

Be warned, though, that cruffler.com (or .org, whatever it is) is at least a few years out-of-date, so the information on their pages should always be backed up by a seperate source, lest you find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

That being said - OC is correct - there is still a waiting period for most guns. A C&R license does not allow you to "cash & carry" most firearms - it simply lets you purchase (and usually have shipped to your doorstep) firearms that are either considered antiques, curios, or relics. (hence the name of the license)

Be prepared to come across dealers both in shops and at gunshows who will not sell you a particular gun directly, even if it IS on the approved C&R list. These guys are simply covering their butts - the list of approved C&R guns changes fairly regularly, and some guns that are eligible, are only eligible in certain configurations.

Don't forget to record all your transactions into your bound book.

Thanks Guys , I know the guns would have to be C&R elligable but just wasn't sure if I would still have to go thru the standard waiting period if I purchased face to face! I also am aware of the logging in the bound book.
