- notch656c 4y agoOP is likely from Oregon and it sounds like it could be very hard, as the delay may be imposed in association with needing further licensing after he misses the cutoff. It is my understanding there may not even be a way to get the license yet after he misses the cutoff. AFAIK the new ballot approved scheme requires this currently unobtonium new permit even for those with a CCW, and this delay may push him into unobtanium being in force.

- ofrzeta 4y agoI am not sure if buying a gun is the adequate answer to this threat. However I am not a US citizen and I get the point. Sometimes, I guess, it's a good thing to delay the checks to let the people chill a bit until they get their gun. Also letting the 20-year-old woman buy a gun with no proper training might likely result in two casualties.
- acdha 4y agoYes: someone in that situation is far more likely to be the victim of gun violence (the attacker can pick the time and place, everyone has to sleep, etc.). Having that violent ex unable to get a gun because the review process determined they were a high risk would save many lives in the U.S. every year.
