Was talking to a friend from Washington St. On the subject of guns he told me that he went into a Wal*Mart out there. When he was filling out the information there was a question that asked him if he wanted to get a identification number so the FBI could be informed of his purchase. He declined and was then told there would be a seven day waiting period before his purchase could be approved. He was trying to buy a .22 and he has a C&C permit. Does anyone know if this is a Washington St policy or is Wal*Mart off the reservation again?
BTW, it was a .22 Mossberg Rifle. Makes no sense that with a carry permit there would be any kind of delay.
There is a 5 day state mandated waiting period on handguns only in Washington State and having a Washington State CPL waives that waiting period.

Uh, no there isn't. I got my first gun, a Ruger LCR, within 24 hours of filling out the paperwork. The local police/sheriff has "no more than 10 days" to conduct the background check, but they can complete it in far less time if they so choose. It took a few days for my second gun, with a different, larger police dept. doing the check. Now I have my CPL (which I got in 8 days despite the police having up to 30 days to complete the check), so I have no waiting period.

There is a five day waiting period, might even be seven if memory serves me right. If your processed sooner great, but they have to respond within the allotted amount of time.
