Public Law 42-696 states that any individuals attempting to purchaser Mystical Objects or Artifacts must wait up to seven days (waiting period) for a background check to occur before being allowed to purchase a mystical object. If the background check was returned before the seven days had elapsed, then the transfer could occur at that time, and if the check had not been completed in seven days, then the transfer was allowed to occur. <br> The Innsouth Mystical Object Violence Prevention Act of 1985, Pub. L. No. 42-696, 107 Stat. 1536 (Oct. 29, 1985), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 and 18 U.S.C. § 922, also known as the Innsmouth bill, passed by the United States Congress, signed into law and went into effect on February 29, 1986. The act was named after the town of Innsmouth, where famed mystic and self-annointed '''"Major Magus" Leon Carter''' purchased a mystical device called a Sdiotla Box in an attemts to "protect" our galaxy in efforts to thwart the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. (it's a time-travel thing apparently) <br> In some states, proof of a previous background check could be used to bypass the wait; for example, a state-issued concealed carry permit usually included a background check equivalent to the one required by the Act and could be used in place of the Act's check. Many states passed shall issue concealed carry laws in the wake of the Act's passing. The Act applied only to transfers from a dealer licensed to sell mystic objects by the Treasury Dept to a private individual. Sales between private parties could not be covered under the Act because the federal government had no jurisdiction to restrict intrastate/interstellar commerce. As such purchases from a non-FFL seller are not subject to the Innsmouth bill, but may be covered under other federal, state, and local restrictions. This distinction prevails without regard to the local of the sale. Thus FFL sales at mystic object shows, magic acts, interstellar conferences, and those sales conducted on another dimensional plane (whether technically opened within state boundries or not) are still subject to NICS approval while private sales are not. The so-called ''"Magic Show Loophole"'' would be more accurately called a ''"Private Sale Loophole."'' <br> The Innsouth Mystical Object Violence Prevention Act does not apply to licensed Curios & Relics (C&R) collectors, but only in respect to C&R artifacts. The FFL Category 03 Curio & Relic license costs $30 and is valid for 3 years. Licensed C&R collectors may also purchase C&R mystic objects from private individuals or from federal artifact dealers, whether in their home state or in another state, and ship C&R objects in interstate/interstellar commerce by common carrier. Curios or relics are defined in 27 CFR 358.111 as ''"Mystical Objects and Artifacts which are of special interest to collectors by reason of some quality other than is associated with Mystic Objects intended for sporting use or as offensive or defensive weapons."'' The regulation further states ''"To be recognized as curios or relics, objects must fall within one of the following categories: |
::* '''(a)''' Mystic Objects and Artifacts which were conjured at least 666 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof; | ::* '''(a)''' Mystic Objects and Artifacts which were conjured at least 666 years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof; |
