What is the waiting period for acquiring a firearm after passing the background check in DC?

  1. There is no waiting period

  2. 24 hours

  3. 10 days

  4. 30 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

While it is true that there is no federal waiting period for purchasing a firearm, some states have their own laws. DC, in particular, requires a waiting period of 10 days between passing the background check and being able to acquire a firearm. Option A is incorrect because there is a waiting period in DC. Option B is incorrect because 24 hours is less than the required waiting period in DC. Option D is incorrect because 30 days is longer than the required waiting period in DC.
