Specific SB281 question: HQL and AR15 purchases
Apologies fellow members, I'm new 'round these parts and I have a quick question that probably isn't suited to the HQL thread.
Let me give you all a not-hypothetical situation: I may pickup my next regulated weapon on 9/21/2013 due to the waiting period. I would like an AR15 lower receiver and a S&W M&P22; currently I have my paperwork in on the AR15 as I figured it would be more important to take possession of before Oct 1st. This, however, would put me inside the new law and HQL requirement for the M&P22. So let me ask you, would it not behoove me to instead put in the paperwork for the M&P22 now and have it released 9/21/2013 by the FFL (who is doing "early" release) and cancel/redo my paperwork for the AR15 lower since I won't need a HQL to pick it up post Oct. 1? From my understanding, I can pickup the AR15 after Sep 30th, but I can't purchase it starting Oct 1st (purchase, of course happening when I do the paperwork) right?
Thanks for your time and again, my apologies for the nooby question.
EDIT: read a couple more things, looks like this is not at all uncommon. The advice I read here was to talk to the FFL to put in the paperwork for the handgun and pick that up before Oct 1st, while the AR15 would be grandfathered in since my form 77r paperwork (that's part of the standard paperwork when buying a regulated weapon, I understand) was filled out prior to Oct 1.
