Hi Wayne, same thing with me. A CCW will allow you to leave with the S&W as soon as the call-in background check is done, about $5.00 at Academy. If a person doesn't have a CCW, a 3 day waiting period is imposed. I hope this helps you. Grady Hartsfield
You can walk in and make your purchase. The store will call the state and versify your information. Once that is done, you'll be able to walk out with your purchase. Should take about 15 minutes.
