I bought my first pistol this way, except that I had a CPL when I started it. My dealer is totally chill though and if I would have wanted a different pistol then they would have put the deposit and any money paid towards that one, no big deal. There also was no layaway fee (only if I ended up not buying the gun would I pay any extra money, and only then it would have been only 10 or 15 dollars, not my entire deposit). It was more of a "OK, I'm definitely buying a gun" for me, not really a traditional "I don't have enough money for a layaway".

There are no legal consequences at the Federal level, since the background check is completed at purchase. Any legal issues would be at the State level.
