How long is the process to buy a gun at Wally World?

[MMatt30]

Curious as to how long it takes them at Walmart to sell a gun?

Are they slower than buying from a gunshop?

Just looking for your experiences.

The last gun I bought from Wal Mart was over 10 years ago and the process took less time than trying to check out through a register. I went in, bought a 10/22 and was out in less than 10 minutes.

Compared to FCP a lot longer. Compared to Academy Sports with 4473 and walking to cashier with escort about the same 30-45 minutes

Haha. Ask lilred06 how long it takes to get a gun at walmart. We were there for what had to have been at least 1hr or so. The person doing the form had no idea what she was doing. She still ran the background check and called ATF eventhough he has and showed his GFL. She didn't believe his GFL was real because she looked at another person's copy and it was the newer GFL. She even showed it to us to try to disprove his. Didn't even cover up any of the guys info. I personally wouldn't buy a gun from there because those people don't know the gun laws and can screw things up for you.

Last time I bought a gun at Walmart (once, ever) I didn't have a GWL. It took about a half-hour. Now that I have a GWL and only buy from decent gun shops with competent salesmen, it takes all of about 5 minutes.

It took me about 15 min to purchase the Ruger10/22 but had to wait for"member of management" to come over to carry my new rifle outside for me. We got out the door and he handed it to me. I asked why, and they said I might have ammo in my pocket and it was for their safety. I did not have any .22 ammo but I had a loaded PM9 in my pocket. Go figure.

First time I bought one, it took about 20 minutes. Last time it took almost an hour. I think alot of it depends on how busy they are and how much of a skeleton crew they have on duty.

Thanks for your replies. And yes it will be funny to get walked to the door while I wear a concealed and loaded G27.
