Predictably, Everytown and Moms are claiming this is a loophole that needs to be fixed in the next MGA session.MSP does the NICS check on handguns, state statute is no reply from MSP after 7 days, firearm can be released on 8th day.
Dealers do the NICS check on rifles/shotguns, per federal law, they can release the firearm (rifle/shotgun) after three days without a reply from NICS.
