Okay, so I've seen some references to this here, but can't find them now.
The law is that "a person may not purchase more than one regulated firearm in a 30-Day period."
How is that period determined? From the date the firearm is paid for (which I would have assumed), or the date it's received after the 7-day MSP waiting period?
One FFL has insisted it's receipt/pick-up. Another now insists it's when the paperwork is dated (and assumedly payment made).
The issue is, I was filling out pink paperwork yesterday, on the 30th day after having picked up my previous handgun. The FFL said I should not check the block that I'd purchased in the past 30 days -- because what counted was not the date of pick-up, but the date I had filled out the previous paperwork.
Anything to be worried about? The pick-ups will still be more than 30 days apart, but did I lie on the paperwork?
