    Also depending on the state you definitely might need a pistol license and you probably need a background check regardless of the state.

      If you’re buying from an FFL anywhere in the US you absolutely are getting background checked. FFL’s don’t want to open themselves up to more liability than they need to.

      The only way you’re not getting background checked is private sales from your cousin vinney you suspect is in a gang or your redneck uncle Rob.

      That being said, background checks are different from waiting periods. They usually only take 5-10 minutes to get approval. You literally just awkwardly stand by the counter and dick around on your phone while you wait

        Yeah that’s why I didn’t want to say “you’re always getting a background check,” I know teeeechnically that’s not true but like, you’re getting a background check lol.
