You have a [b][i]Federal[/i][/b] background check, a 10 day waiting period (handguns only) and you need to have I.D and the age 18 for a rifle, shotgun/ammo and 21 for a handgun/ammo and they are not that cheap with a standard used Sig Saur 9mm handgun is $899.99 excluding tax and ammo costs and a standard used 12 gauge mossberg hunting shotgun is $379.87 (fairly used and just older) also excluding tax and ammo along with the different chokes... Don't forget if you do get both you will most likely want to keep them clean with a $175 gun cleaning kit and a $2,999.99 large 14 gun vault... The total price of those four objects alone are well into the +$3,000 price range... Not cheap Echo... Not cheap...
