Respectfully disagreeing with the Prof. - Gun Show Edition

[Bubba]

I'm taking a class on firearms forensics just for kicks. The professor is not just some stereotypical academic. He's a forensic entomologist by trade, and owner of more than a few toys whose safety switches go all the way to "fun", but he was giving some bogus info during our last class. I don't know if he's using outdated info or if this is a Kirk's Law situation or something else. I need to be prepared if I am going to correct him.

I need to know if at any time in the state of Indiana a person who purchased a firearm at a gun show was prohibited from taking immediate possession of the firearm and was forced to go to the FFL's storefront to pick up his purchase. I could see this being the case pre-NICS, but I know it to be false now. If this was a code change, does anyone have the citation and date?

Could he have gotten delayed?

That was the way it was pre NCIS. 7 day wait and pickup at the store unless you had a LTCH. I know it was in effect in at least 1992 as I bought a pistol at the 1500 and had to go to Plainfield to pick it up a week later. After that I got my LTCH and never have waited since.

That was the way it was pre NCIS.

That show hasn't been on TV very long.



But, yes.

If he is speaking of handguns and (I believe it was) pre-'98, IIRC.

I can look it up if you need to know an exact date.
