Craig, I don't know where that's cited in the regs. But 3X now when a NY resident drove to buy a gun here in PA and did the Form 4473, the Dealer we used couldn't get the NICS check/approval without being sidelined to talk with an agent. Once that was 10 minutes on hold and two other times it took about 20 minutes. Another Dealer friend I shoot with told me that's taken up to an hour on hold, and now he's gotten to wait a few minutes and if not picked up by an agent he declines to handle the transfer. His rather crude comment was (paraphrased) time is money and it's not worth it.
