“Washington state. Go to the local sheriff. Get fingerprinted. Fill out a form. Wait ten minutes for a backgroiund check. Get your CWP and go get yer firearm. Done. Half a day.”

Here in California, you have to take a short written “exam” at the gun shop where upon you are issued a “Handgun Safety Certificate” which costs nothing ( as I recall) and is good for five years. The exam basically tries to see if you know the basics of how to handle both a revolver and a pistol. Then you are able to purchase both handguns and long guns subject to a ten day waiting period ( which has recently been declared unconstitutional by a Federal Judge in Fresno and which will be implemented within the next 6 months. Beyond that, the US 9th Circuit Court has ruled CA’s CCW law also unconstitutional, but that is being challenged by the State. No matter how that turns out, the end result will go to the SCOTUS, because if it stands, CA will become a “Shall Issue State.” Heads in Sacto. are exploding along with those in Hawaii, because the ruling will affect their gun laws as well.

Wisconsin, go to a store, buy a gun. Rifles, take them home today, handguns, wait 48 hours due to the F-—ing democrats, the take the gun home. No fingerprints, no BS, as long as you can pass the Brady Bill background check.

Or find a private seller and buy your gun.
