$56.39 for PPT!?!

[diverwcw]

As much as gun owners are villified and scorned by the liberal bias, some gun shops will feed into that frenzy and screw over their own customer base.

PPTs are a part of doing business for an FFL in this state. I personally don't have a problem with it. State law allows them to charge a limited fee and I don't have a problem with that either, PPTs take time and resources to administer so there should be some compensation.

If I go to XX gun store for a PPT and they treat me like the plague, I have to presume they would treat me that way over any other transaction and I'll definitely not go there in the future. They had better keep an eye on Yelp because it's going to be published. If I'm treated with courtesy and respect, I do what I can to patronize their business. Positive experiences are also published on Yelp.

I am personally grateful to CalGunners who have the courage to speak out on being gouged by gun shops and naming them BY NAME. I seldom see ANY rebuttal by the business owners so, for the most part, I have to presume the allegations are true.

I just paid 70 today to ppt a handgun

And I'd happily do it again, the lgs is knowledgable, friendly and had me done w papers in about 10 minutes. He didn't rush, made sure I Had looked at any other products to my hearts content and sent me on my way with a smile

Was it more than 35? Yep but I can know my little tid bit goes to keeping the lights on.

We complain about dros, about lack of inventory, but so few are willing to help out a bit to keep the friendly neighborhood gun shops alive

Sounds like you should have dropped another $50 just to make sure he stays open.

I believe the shop should be able to charge whatever they want. This is the United States of America.

What you believe is interesting but irrelevant...CPC specifies the charges.

Forget free market stuff. When the ffl does a ppt or any firearms transaction they are acting as an agent of the State of CA. That licence they have comes with responsibilities and one of them is to facilitate firearms transfers between two people. For this they can charge $10.

This.

I wish there was a like button for this.

Talk to the manager/owner. They have just violated the Penal Code
