Quick question about this that I can't seem to find in searching. When the state mandates a 7-day waiting period for regulated firearms, do they mean you have to wait 168hrs (7x24h) from the time you purchased it, meaning legally if you purchased at, say, noon on a Friday, you could pick up at 12:01pm on the following Friday? ... or do they mean you have to wait 7 full days 12AM-11:59PM starting the day after purchase?
I only ask because I bought my gun at a dealer this past Friday at 5pm and they're open until 7pm tonight, but they say I still have to wait until tomorrow to pick up. The paperwork is in and good. They say pickup on the 8th day is the earliest legal pickup date. I'm not trying to cause problems for them - just trying to understand the law. I've also seen some people post on here that they picked up their gun exactly 1 week after the day they bought it - buy on Wed, pick up following Wed.
Thanks in advance.
