This may sound dumb but I would like to ask: can I put a handgun on hold by simply buying it from gunpost and wait until my rpal arrives before transferring it?

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but I'm not sure if this is true. In firearms law, possession is 10/10ths of the law. I don't see why it would be illegal for somebody to pay money to hold a gun until their license arrives, as long as it never ships until it's fully legal.

But, IANAL.

Once the freeze goes into force it will be impossible to submit a transfer.
