As a Tennessee resident my typical gun buying experience is to go to the store, pick out my gun and stack it with a couple of boxes of ammo on the counter. Then I fill out the forms, wait 30 minutes, pay for my purchase and walk out with my gun & ammo. Nice and easy, no issues.
Last Saturday I bought a handgun across the border in Alabama. No carrying it home. It had to get shipped to my local FFL...Oh, was that a weird feeling!
I do love the fact that they make it as painless as possible. Every Wednesday the Alabama gun shop runs the load of purchased to a hardware store on the town square in the town I live in. The hardware store does not sell guns, but is a FFL and does the transfer. There is no shipping charge and the hardware store only charges $10 for the transfer.
So this time it was buy Saturday and leave the store with extra magazines and ammo. Go to the hardware store on Thursday, do the transfer and walk out with my gun.
It must really suck to be in a state that has a mandatory waiting period!
