Should distrubutors/out of state LGS prioritize CA SSE?

[The Last American Hero]

1)Yes, it is the American thing to do, and sooner or later as the USA goes down the toilet, they might need a favor or even an emergency loan of the gun. Any out of state distributor who goes the extra mile for CA buyers now has a lot of good will coming for later non-SSE buys.

2)No, Californians made their bed, now they get to lie in it. Good Californians were lazy and let leftists run rampant. Freedom isn't free. Not any businessman's job to lose money because customer base let themselves down. Isn't "helping" people who let themselves down how CA became such a leftist hot ghetto mess?

First in line should get it. Not their fault our state sucks. Now CA customers should jump the line? What kind of crap is that?

[someoneeasy]

Nope, it's not like you're likely going to buy from them again. Or will you....?

[Grakken]

Market Dictates.

1) Thats what good businesses do anyways, take care of their clients needs.

2)I agree with the second part of #2 as well. If a business doesnt want to sell to us, so be it, other will fill the void

and Ive never voted for a antigunner, just because most of the sheep do, i don't want to be lumped in with them but perception is reality. I get it.

And dems have gotten elected here because of so many other issues other than guns. Most voters here I believe could care less about firearms in general. They care more about entitlements and what the dems can get them...oh and whatever the latest scoop on TMZ is.

I'll just be happy that they ship to CA, no need for special privileges.

Besides, who else in the nation is even buying guns at a high rate besides us? There is no line.

Magpul did prioritize CO buyers when they had their high capacity magazine ban, but they were sitting front row and center as they were CO based.

Krebs Custom did put CA buyers ahead last year before long gun registration took effect.

This year, Rifle Dynamics will put CA buyers on top of their waiting list for AK pistols if they're willing to pay an extra $500 for a "priority fee".

So it varies, some companies couldn't give a flying fudge to our predicament and some even blame CA gun owners for our anti gun laws. Some others understand it is not our choice.


But let's turn the table, imagine if you find out people from NY or NJ were allowed to get ahead of you due to their own funny laws. Hope you are OK with waiting.

[Intimid8tor]

No.

Y'all had plenty of time to take care of business.

Californians don't return favors. They just whine about companies not selling to them.

Gun owners outside of California don't need a loan from California gun owners. We have our own, without bullet buttons and with standard capacity magazines. If things really go south you won't have any to loan anyway as California will confiscate early in the process and most of y'all will turn your guns in when they say to do it.

there is no 'should' about this. freedom of choice is a wonderful thing; that goes for FFLs as well.

not sure how they would be losing money extracting every dollar from CA buyers that they can get by the end of the year is "losing money". most of their 49-state sales will be there in January.

I doubt the other customers will be happy with the delayed shipments. They would rather go to other dealers, who are capable of doing business in the timely fashion.

I guess it would depend on the dealer, the product, etc to determine if the net result would be positive or negative.

california is often seen as one big mess and many sellers want to steer clear of it; that's their right. those that do business with californians make the money that comes along with that business. out of state sellers that work with california buyers will make some ongoing customers along the way.

[keenkeen]

Why would they?

If you want it quick someone will provide it if you are willing to pay more.

Problem solved.

[Creampuff]

No because that will only confirm the stereotype that we think we are more important than others. I do feel if any out of state vendor tries to give us a helping hand we should be sure to continue to send our business out their way once 2014 is over.

[mike_the_wino]

When the sheet gets piled up high enough and people of Commiefornia get pissed enough, then we can dig ourselves out of this mess.

Until we will have to shoulder the burden that is this unconstitutional morass perpetrated by our elected officials or move.
