    Wait time is like a month if you have it in your own name, 3ish if using a trust.

    The “extra background check” really isn’t any more indepth than the one for buying a gun either.

    Silencer by no means implies this was a professional hit. Lots of people have em these days just for the hell of it

      Huh. Tax stamps must have really changed. It used to be a 7 month wait, minimum, when I was dealing with them.

        Been like that for a couple of years at least.

        They switched from hardcopy to taking electronic and the backlog disappeared.

        It takes like less than an hour to process one, same as waiting for a check to get a gun. The backlog was from moving hardcopies around.
