    Why Do I Love Working At A Gun Store?

    It's Because there are those rare times like today when a customer comes in and "Needs Cash". So He Asks me if we buy guns. I say yes we do, what do you have? Out comes a (Brand New) Gen 3 Glock 17 with Night Sights. I look it over and if this gun has seen a shot it sure doesn't show it. Before I can ask what he wants for it he yells out...........I need $250 for it. I look up and say, "lets start the paperwork" and him him the cash.


    I'm so happy, I can't wait to bring it home. I was not planning on getting another glock anytime soon, but I could not pass This deal up. It will go perfect with the 2 17rd Pre-Ban Mags I have from my other G17. I'll Get pictures up after it gets out of it's 40 Day jail Time(FDAS and DROS).

    Cheers.

    Josh.

        This is what I am hoping. Which is also why we (Dealers) do a FDAS (Firearm Dealer Acquisition System) Kinda like a reverse DROS, Does a background check on the seller and the weapon. But the Gentleman was early 50's maybe late 40's, and due to this wonderful economy is forced to leave his home of 30 odd years and move out of state. So I have high doubt it is stolen.

          FDAS tagged a recent item that came in on consignment as something that was reported Lost/Stolen from Kmart inventory in 1998.

          Your boss allows you to buy outright from customers without giving the shop first crack at it?

            I didn't enter this gun as a consignment. I entered it as a purchase. Although I hope it is not this one.

            Yes, My boss gives certain Employees first crack at guns/items that come in. However we(Certain Employees) know not to abuse this privilege.

                Is that why I see dealers punching in the serial number of firearms into the computer while completing a PPT? Is it an instant check?

                  It is not for a PPT. Only for a Consignment or Purchase of a handgun from a customer. Dealers type in the serial # of the weapon because they are essentially registering the gun to the new owner. In a PPT a Dealer Enters who the gun is coming from (Seller), Who It is Going To (Buyer) and the Weapon that is being Purchased. Only if its a handgun do they enter It's information. Rifles and Shotguns do not get Serial #'s/Model #'s entered into DROS.


                  FDAS is not an Instant Check. It's even longer than a standard DROS. After we do a FDAS on a weapon we are required to hold it for 30 days before it can be DROS'd again. That's why I said it will be 40 days before I can bring it home.

                      Consign or buy, still runs through the same system. Either way, if there's something wrong with that Glock you'll know in a week or so.

                        I recently sold two rifles via PPT. I saw the dealer imputing the rifles serial number into the computer(this happened at two different shops). Do you know what this was for?

                        Lets stick to rifles for these questions. I know that Handguns are registered so serial numbers are imputed regardless, in order to switch owner.

                          Perfect, a bunch of brothels just got shut down in the Bay Area, but now I know I can just go to the nearest gun store to get f***ed by the employees.
