Here in WI we have a two business-day wait on handguns, a holdover from the Brady wait/check that pre-dated NICS, where WI does a slightly more stringent background check than the Federal one.
Otherwise it's cash, NICS, and carry for all long-guns. WI has no concealed carry for anybody (working on that, thanks...), other than off-duty police, and retired police that meet the new Federal standard. Open carry is technicaly legal, and we have no additional restrictions on ammo, or types of firearms or features other than Federal law.

In Tennessee, the current federal Brady background check
requirement is handled by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
through the Tennesse Instant Check System at a fee of $10
and not through the federal NICS. Checks usually clear in ten
minutes or less and the TICS database is more complete than
the NICS.
Before the Brady Act, Tennessee had a fifteen day waiting period,
but that was a fifteen day time window for the chief of police
or county sheriff to DENY an application. I bought a Ruger .357
at a shop in town and walked from the gun shop to the police
station with the application form and was approved in about five
minutes. I bought a Ruger .22 at a shop in the county and had to
hand-delivered my application to the sheriff's office; it was mailed
approved to the dealer the next day. Most police and deputies I
have talked to thought the old system was useless and a waste
of everyone's time. Criminals caught with guns usually had stolen,
smuggled or black market guns--sometimes stolen military or police
guns.
For years, the Tennessee handgun carry permit was a "special
deputy badge" at the discretion of the county sheriff, which meant
that some counties had no carry while others had some. There were
scandals of bribery, cronyism and racism. Discretionary permit systems
all violate the basic principles of due process and equal rights. Since
1996, current Handgun Carry Permit system is "shall-issue": you pass
tests, have no disqualifications spelled out in the law, the permit
must be issued, and can only be revoked by just cause with legal
option of appeal. Not as easy as a driver's license, but a lot easier
than a private aircraft license.
Gun laws in Tennessee have gotten less stupid, so there is
hope for Canada.

Oh, Canada. Should really be 3 countries - Western Canada (from Manitoba on west), Quebec (perhaps we should move it across the Atlantic to join its motherland...), and Ontario. The latter 2 dictate to the others.
Seriously though I like Canadians as a whole though. If we in America hadnt had that whole Revolution, we probably would have stuck together to the present day.

Not surprisingly, Ratzinger, you forgot about the Maritime Provinces, or as known by the rest of Canada, the welfare case provinces.

Myself being Canadian, what is NCIS and the Brady Act?

Here in Michigan I can go to the gun shop and walk out with whatever I can afford that day
NCIS = NAVAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION SERVICE
I believe you mean NICS. Which is NATIONAL INSTANT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM.
BRADY ACT= FERTILIZER rules regs reguarding guns

Yoo-betcha! That's why the Stanley Cup currently belongs to The Ducks.
Our nation is going to come apart at the seams pretty soon, I think. In the last 24 hours I have heard of two 9-1-1 service refusals. One in B.C. and one right here in Cow-town.
Remember folks, 9-1-1, when seconds count, help is mere minutes away! (Thanks for that one Oleg, its gold!)
