    That's why for me changing the background check period to 30 days like in California is a mistake. It's an undue burden on the buyer and is a cost at his or her expense which simply keeps the state from improving their response time to requests.

I think if this was 50-100 years ago, a 30 day period would seem somewhat reasonable. However, in this day and age, with the speed of communication and the amount of readily accessible information the government has, 30 days might as well be a year.
