    Most states don’t require licensure at all. You complete a background check at time of purchase as required by federal law, and if you aren’t a felon or prohibited for other reasons, you proceed with the purchase.

      Yup it’s totally fucked up. After I picked out my handgun it took 15 minutes after that to complete my purchase. Ordered my food right after they started the background check cause I thought it might take a while. Got my firearm and my food was still hot when I got back.

      There really needs to be more before being able to buy a firearm. At the VERY least training and safety courses. This is where my opinion gets considered controversial, but if we had a better health care system I think annual mental health checkups for gun owners should be a thing.
