In states that don’t have laws beyond federal, the process is walking in, picking a firearm, giving some personal, identifying information for a NICS background check which usually takes a few minutes at most, and then paying for your weapon and going home.
If you have any drug convictions, they’ll have to call. If you admit to being on any medication for mental illness, they’ll have to call. I don’t know what happens after that.
If you have no major criminal record and do not admit to using drugs, it’s an incredibly simple process.
If you order online, the firearm will be shipped to someone called an FFL who will run the background check when you go to pick it up. They will usually charge you 20-50 dollars for the process. Sometimes it’s an retired guy with a bunch of army memorabilia or maybe it’s a Q cultist in the back of a barber shop. You can also just choose a gun shop, but I’ve found that in my area they take a much longer time to process orders and cost more.
