The ones that I've found at $124 are "on hold", supposedly waiting for a background check to clear. They said they have to hold them for 30 days. Never heard of it taking that long to do a NICS check.
Here in Kentucky, my CC permit is all I need.
Try Oregon. Their NICS is conducted by Or State Police, and they charge you ten bucks to record make, model, and serial number.
A few years ago, I got held up for 180 days on the purchase of a 10-22. Last year it was three days on a Walmart clearance Vanguard in 243 in Oregon. The amusing thing is, in that three days I purchased another Vanguard in each of two separate Idaho Walmarts. Idaho uses the FBI NICS. They do not record anything except Rifle/Handgun/Shotgun, it is free, and it took less than ten minutes.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
