This has to do with the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022. The short of it is that anyone between the ages of 18-20 will be automatically placed in a "delayed" status and could potentially result in a 10 day wait.
The enhancement provides the opportunity for additional outreach and research to be conducted regarding the existence of any juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition. As a result, transactions on persons between the ages of 18-20 will initially be delayed allowing for the additional outreach. The enhanced process for persons under the age of 21 will begin on November 14, 2022.
Scary stuff.
