Some states have instituted waiting periods for handgun purchases. Check with your state before becoming too concerned.
As long as you have not been adjudicated mentally ill (defective) or committed you'll be fine. Brotheranon (82nd AB and Sheriff's Deputy) shot himself. Sorry for your loss. Glad you are being treated.

If the FFL has not received from the NICS a final determination after 3 business
days have elapsed since the delay response, it is within the FFL’s discretion whether or not
to transfer the firearm (if state law permits the transfer). If the FFL transfers the firearm,
the FFL must note “no resolution was provided within 3 business days” on line 19d of the
ATF Form 4473.
The Carter has some unique mission capabilities:
"Initially, the US Navy only described this expensive modification a 30.5m long internal space for experimental “non-traditional” payloads.
We now know what “non-traditional” meant. It was a multi-mission garage. It can carry, launch and control semi-autonomous drones into the air or water, as well as small craft for 50 special operations SEAL commandos and deep-sea divers.
A new advanced communications mast was built into the protruding sail on its deck to support this sophisticated equipment. This is capable of high-speed, low-profile, data exchange.
The big submarine has one other feature: independent propulsion modules recessed into its bow and stern. These can precisely, and quietly, nudge the sub into a precise position or through a deadly obstacle course.
So if there is an essential but dangerously delicate espionage job to be done, the USS Jimmy Carter is likely to be on the case."
