An Act to Abolish the 72-hour Waiting Period for a Gun Purchase

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill removes the current law that requires a 72-hour waiting period before a seller can give a purchased firearm to a buyer. If passed, firearm sellers would no longer need to wait three days to deliver a gun after it is purchased.
