This sounds kind of odd but here is the story.
My local gun shop, which also happens to be a giant importer/retailer of mil-surps with not the best reputation, had a new rule given to the by the ATF about AR15 receivers.
I was purchasing an AR15 lower receiver and was told that I had to wait 3 days, per ATF contacting them saying, "any AR15 receiver can be made a pistol, so it must be a 3 day wait period."
My understanding is that IL state law/firearms code is what makes the waiting periods, not the ATF. The waiting periods in each state are per state law not federal law, correct?
So why would the ATF say this to my LGS, or maybe the IL state police told him this and he said ATF accidently?
Anyways I can't find a reason for the shop to benefit from waiting 3 days vs. 1 day, unless they are afraid of being audited and getting in trouble for it.
Any information is appreciated, thanks.
