I always get my guns 5 minutes after I buy them.
It goes something like this:
Me: I'll take this .44 Mag here.
Dealer: Okay, that's 550.
Me: Here you go:
Dealer: Let me just do the bg check here...*calls 1-800 number, talks 2 mins, hangs up*
Dealer: Ok, I'll run the card and you're all set.
Me: Thanks!
And I walk out with my new gun.
		
		
	 
Living in a wannabe california that is controlled by probably the most corrupt mayor in the history of America has its downsides.  3 day wait for handguns, 1 day long guns.

Ouch! That stinks. Alaska is very kick-back with firearms compared to other states I've heard about. We don't even need permits for concealed carry, though we do need them if we wish to exercise the privilege in other states.  I think a large part of it stems from the sheer number of people who hunt here. Guns are almost like a well-accepted part of life.
		
 
		
	 
yeah i got a sister that lives in Alaska. she was shocked at how many had guns (in reach at that). now she gets suprised when she comes to IL and finds its hard to get a gun. And that i had to get a FOID card just to buy ammo.
		
 
		
	 
Its ridiculous here.  Daley and his thugs have made it near impossible to make any sort of progress when it comes to firearms.  Until that dolt is out of office, the governors hands are tied (assuming we get a governor with some nuts, unlike the moron currently in office).  Daley can spin up a storm when it comes to firearms, and the ignorant masses of chicago will buy it up.
There was a poll conducted here not too long ago asking Chicago area residents whether or not the mayor should be voted out of office because of the corruption that is just now getting in the spotlight.  Some INSANELY high percentage said "We dont care, as long as he does his job." 
WTF?
