Imposes a mandatory 10-day waiting period after initiating a background check before any firearm can be delivered to a purchaser (replacing a prior 30-day alternative), so more restrictions on firearms.
No dealer in firearms shall deliver any firearm, and no person shall take possession of any firearm from a dealer in firearms unless: 1. ten days have elapsed from the date such dealer initiated the national instant criminal background check of the purchaser as required by 18 U.S.C. § 922(t), after receiving a completed federal Firearms Transaction Record, Form 4473, from the purchaser; and 2. such dealer has received notice that the purchaser has passed all background checks required by federal, state and local law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new article to the general business law establishing a 10-day waiting period after NICS background check initiation before any firearm can be delivered from a dealer, with violations as a class A misdemeanor; it also amends multiple existing sections to replace prior 30-day alternatives with this mandatory 10-day requirement for gun shows, private sales, dealer transfers, and rifle/shotgun sales. All changes impose additional delays on firearm acquisition, directly addressing purchase-background-checks under the firearms topic with no other covered topics.
