Then my friend had to go to the police station and apply for my gun and could take 6 months. I ~doubt~ the dealer was correct, but at least shows that the local dealers are apparently buffaloed into what to do by the powers that be.
I believe every word of this. There is also a fun regulation where you have to reside in the state for 6-12 months (I forget the exact number) before you can even APPLY for a pistol permit. If you move to the state, it can take 1-1.5 years to get a permit, assuming you get approved. If you move to the state and want to bring a handgun, you have to surrender it to the local Police. They will hold it for you until you are properly permitted. I don't know what would happen to your weapon(s) if you were denied.
I want to know the conditions they store those guns in too.
