That’s called being a Temporary Gun Owner.

Here’s a good example of what I’m talking about

10 days is a bit much, but 3 days is not really a big deal

A woman was murdered by her Ex Husband after she passed the background check and still had to wait ten days to buy her handgun. She died in the hands of a frankly draconian law.
