Turkeygirl Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 We are going up to Bass Pro today..only my 2nd trip there and maybe, just maybe I'll see the whole store this time and maybe walk out with some goodies:D My question is, if I'm going to buy a gun, do I need anything else besides a blank check and my driver's license? It would be the pits to drive 2 hours there, say I want to get this gun and then not have something...so thought I'd check. I need some answers quick because we'll probably get out of here by 11 at the latest. Thanks guys. Don't have too much fun here without me:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Here all you need is id/dl Ruth. They will finger print you and run the check and it is done. Takes longer to fill out the form than the check to run usually. Dont know about the laws in NY though. Might be a good idea to call ahead and ask the store, they will know.

Guest outdoorgirl Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Ruth I bought my shotgun last year at Gander Mountain and all i needed were my drivers photo license. They'll do a back round check and if you pass your good to go :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i think all you have to worry about is that fingerprint thing and background check.... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thnaks guys. Yeah when I asked at Walmart a couple weeks ago, guy said just a drivers license and they call in the background check and tell them right there. I don't have a backgroundso I should be good,lmbo. The squirrels, deer, and turkey might say otherwise though:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 we just fill out a form here in Mississippi and present our drivers liscense (which is our photo i.d.) and they call the form in and once it clears, we are good to go. Let us see some pics of what you get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 We don't have to do the fingerprint thing here, they just call in a background check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Man, you guys are lucky. If I want to buy a gun.. have to show FOID Card, then wait 7 days while they do a background check, then drive back to where ever I found the gun, pay for it, then I can bring it home.

Guest swmnk9training Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 We just have to have a photo id and fill out a form for the background check. The store calls it in and within 30 minutes we can walk out with a gun, unless of course you need more time to choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Background check and that is it! I have a canceled weapons permit, so I just show that! They take the number and I walk out the door with the gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm pretty sure you can't buy a gun in a state unless you are a state resident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
