I just figured that since the point of the 7 days is (to my understanding) to serve as a cooling off period. I wondered if significant evidence that you already own a firearm or multiple firearms would render that purpose null.

I think I asked in another thread, but once you get a permit to purchase, is it good for multiple purchases within the year that it's valid?

Also, what are the requirements of residency if any to get a permit to purchase?

Ok.

Bear in mind that the seven-day limit is widely ignored by police departments.

More to give the police the time to run the background check.

lol...I'm still waiting for my PTP. It's been about 2 weeks....and I WORK where I applied.

Cabelas in Rogers had a string of different EBRs in late March & early April. Several M&P15s (mostly OR), some Bushmasters, and a Remington or two. Prices seemed reasonable, all things considered. An M&P15OR with MSRP of $1,209 was selling for $999. Haven't seen any there for the last few weeks though.
