The Brady Bill, which was signed by President Clinton, went into effect on February 28, 1994.  The law initially required a five-day waiting period for customers purchasing firearms, and mandated a national criminal background check on purchasers buying handguns from dealers licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Private party sales, or sales by dealers who are not federally approved, were not covered; this is because the federal government has no jurisdiction to restrict intrastate commerce. The provision which mandated that local law enforcement officials carry out the background checks was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1997 as an unfunded mandate. The waiting period provision was set to sunset in 1998. In the interval the so-called "instant-check" system, still used as of 2006, was developed by the FBI. The "instant" check still requires a wait of three business days in instances where the system fails to positively approve or deny the applicant. Most states have some form of alternative to the background check such as concealed carry handgun permits or mandatory state or local checks.\n\nThe five day waiting period for handgun purchases expired on November 30, 1998 and was replaced by an NRA-sanctioned mandatory, computerized criminal background check prior to any firearm purchase from a federally-licensed firearms dealer. All federally-licensed firearms dealers must now verify the identity of a customer and receive authorization from the National Instant Check System (NICS) which usually takes only a matter of minutes instead of the previously required waiting period.\n\nThe Brady Law requires that background checks for individuals be conducted before a handgun may be purchased from a federal firearms dealer, and requires an unlicensed purchaser to wait five days before taking possession of the handgun. There is no five day waiting period when purchasing long guns before taking possession. Significant exemptions exist. For example, in many states, handguns may be purchased from private individuals in one's own home state without having to follow the Brady Act provisions.\n\nLikewise, it is possible for private individuals to purchase certain unusual and or antique handguns and long guns [1]even across state lines without following the Brady Act, once they obtain a $30 FFL Category 03 Curio & Relic license (good for 3 years.) For example, Curio & Relic federal firearms licensed private individuals are exempt from the law, and may purchase C&R handguns from private individuals or from federal firearms dealers, whether in their home state or in other states, with no requirements for following the Brady Act, with no five day waiting period for taking possession, while also buying and shipping handguns in interstate commerce by common carrier. C&R handguns include all handguns older than 50 years old, or handguns possessing special collector appeal due to their documented prior ownership (e.g., a pistol previously owned by a President of a country, or other famous person.)

You may be able to obtain the information with a Freedom of Information request to the Veterans' Affairs.\n\nBrig time is typically considered a federal crime and should show up on their record, but NJP could result in very short times (3 or 5 days) without it being listed.

Good Luck!  My husband put in his packet and was in school 2 months later.  We actually got his first choice for a recruiting station...only too find out three months after he graduated(and we still had no orders) that a DUI he got 9 years ago came up on his background check and that disqualified him.  People were getting kicked ut throughout the class for things such as BAD credit!  They are allowed to take up to 9 months from the time you graduate until they give you orders.  Good luck!

It takes a loooooong time. They dont generally exaggerate a whole lot on the websites. That is based on when it is a busy period, but I think it probably takes a little bit less. Good Luck with the immigration process.

The assasination of the Austrian prince would be great for an essay - but a very long one. The assasination was more of a trigger on a gun, rather than the bullet, gun powder, and gun itself (as well as who was pointing it at whom) since there were a large variety of factors already staged for the beginning of World War I when this happened. The more I read about it, the more I realize what an expert one needs to be to explain it!\n\nHistorical questions are always complex, so I would shoot for something that appears as simple as possible - since it won't turn out that way, anyway. One example might be how slavery in our country caused the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Because of the distance of time between the events, the cause and effects are actually more sweeping and therefore, easier to see.

Isnt that frustrating?   Sometimes it feels like the laws are out to get the good honest citizens, instead of the criminals.  Unfortunately, the way things are going, what's going to happen first is the law abiding citizens giving up their guns.  There is little to be done, unless a very big change of attitude comes into play.  My personal theory is that we are way too many and something huge has to happen to the majority of us, so we can start with a cleaner slate.\nSorry, but know I feel your frustration.

There is no waiting period at that age. You've seen it all, done it all, know it all. No kids to worry about and I'm sure your both fianancally and mentally stable and secure. So, inquiring minds want to know why you waited 3.5 years to even discuss it when it should have already been done. Your don't need young peoples opinions, you've got our blessings.

Generally, the limits are in the total amount of time that the case gets delayed before trial, not how many individual delays there are.\n\nThe speedy trial clause of the 6th Amendment prohibits a trial from being delayed too long after indictment/arraignment, without the consent of the accused. The threshold is 8 months, after which any further delays are presumed to be prejudicial to the defendant.\n\nBut both sides can keep requesting continuances, and the judge can keep granting them. It's only when the trial has been delayed for 8 months or longer, after the defedant starts complaining, that the court must take action. Before that, it's based on mutual consent.

Why don't you check the USCIS.gov website? \nThey have all the forms and how much time it takes. On the website there is a section called processing dates, there should be 3 or 4 processing centers in 4 different states, all the forms should be listed by dates of when the paperwork were received by the gov. check the link below, it should say what paperwork they are working on now and gives you an idea on how long it will take. You might still have to do some reading on the website.\n\nIn which state did he apply?

There's really no way to make the VA "hurry." They're a government entity, they don't hurry. For a domestic school it takes 6-8 weeks. If you're going to a foreign school that they recognize, I can't see it taking any longer.
