WNY; yeah 10 days is the normal wait for guns in Ca. It use to be 15 days! Also had to take their new handgun saftey test, show proof of residency, and when I pick it up, show them safe handling. WOW. And Dusty I think your asking me about what it takes to get a CCW? it will take me a two day class,[two 8hr Sat`s] cost 90.00 now and then I`ll have to go down to the court house and pay 120.00 for the cirtificate. I think it`s good for four or five years. But I better do this while Jim Pope is still our sheriff. He still has a few years left. 8 days and counting!
