Wow, that's way worse than CA. We just have to pass a written test to get a Handgun Safety Certificate. Then there's just the 10 day waiting period for the background check. When you pick up the gun, you have to demonstrate that you know how to properly load and unload the gun. Long guns require the 10 day background check, but no safety certificate.
