The law is called the Brady Bill. It states that a person must wait 5 business days after their purchase before they can receive a handgun. The bill also states that anyone buying a gun needs to have a background check and can't be a felon, minor, illegal alien, or have a criminal record. Law enforcement must tell anyone who is rejected why they are unable to buy a firearm if they ask. This bill also authorizes $200 million per year to update criminal records. That money comes from increasing the fee to receive a gun license.

Know Your Waiting Period For New Health Insurance Coverage?

Buying health insurance online can often make policies much less expensive, which makes the Internet a great tool for health insurance buyers who are looking for more coverage. However, be careful when buying additional health insurance coverage. Check for a waiting period on your policy. This is a period that you'll have to wait before your new coverage becomes active, so it's a very important part of any new policy. Knowing your waiting period can make it easier to assess the overall value of your new health insurance coverage and make buying medical insurance a simpler process down the line.
