Yes, but prepare to deal with assholes who think they are God's gift to the firearm community.

They just act like a bunch of know it all's. Honestly, though, it's not just Academy. Lots of places are like that.

The same as buying a handgun at any retail store.

It's the same as it is anywhere else.

As long as you don't get a flag on your background check you get the gun that day.

Some of the process will depend on you and your past actions and how you answer the NICS form...

Takes 30 minutes if you're clean.

I'm clean.

Just a .45 to keep in my truck.

I dunno. I was gonna go look when I got back home. I just need something simple to keep in my truck. Something I feel comfortable with firing if ever need be.

I've also had success getting out of tickets by letting the officer know where the pistol is right off the bat. I'll most likely use it more for that than firing it at somebody

I'm not very sophisticated when it comes to guns. I inherited the gun I have now at my house (.38 revolver). I'd just like one to keep in my truck, as well.

I'm just a "have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it" kind of guy.
