Last Friday I attempted to buy a gun. For context I am 19 and live in a fairly strict state on guns. Clerk was visibly skeptical of me likely from my anxious behavior but eventually I pay for the cheapest shotgun they had and filled out my 4473. Guy comes back couple minutes later and tells me I'm delayed, likely because I am under 21 and that it could take up to 30 days and he will call me when he gets notice. My concern is about 6 years ago I was dumb and I told my psychiatrist a little too much and spent a week in a psych ward. It was my parents that told me that I had to go and so I'm not sure if it was an involuntary stay. Before trying to purchase it I was unable to find a clear answer online if this would 100% stop me from buying a gun so I decided whats the harm in trying. My question is if anyone has experience with this sort of situation and what is the likely result. My CTB date was set for the 12th and I was keen on sticking to that with or without a gun. The stress of not knowing is killing me.
