Well, in a certain chain of pawn shops, the wait sorta begins on the day Following the Purchase Day,
and you pick it up the day AFTER the 3-days have passed.
As in, you buy it on Monday, that's their Day 0.
Tuesday is Day 1, Wed is Day 2, Thurs is Day 3, and you may pick it up on Friday if you clear Background.
Why? They aren't based in Florida and have to follow the Federal Brady 5-day as well as the Florida wait,
so they tie it all together like that so that few feathers are ruffled.
Was also told that they got nailed on a BATF inspection for less than 72-hrs elapsing, even tho it was 3 days
from purchase...so they came up with that system to make all Federal Agencies happy back around '96.
They've also got 12-month layaway, so I buy a LOT of guns from 'em
Also have a FL carry permit, so none of the wait affects me anymore!
