FFL refusing to do PPT for a long rifle

[onelonehorseman]

As soon as I start getting some their attitude I am out of there as well. Luckily, I have an LGS where they know me and know that my transaction will be quick because I have everything in order and I make sure the seller does as well. I also give the LGS all my other business as well.

Bottom line is you do not have to patronize those stores where the FFL thinks they walk on water and talk down to you. Do a little research hopefully you will find a LGS that is a good fit for you.

^^Agreed.

I live in an area where there are several LGS within 15 - 20 minutes drive. I choose to drive 30 miles to do all of my transfers because of the superior service I get at my preferred FFL.

So let me get this straight... What you're saying is that, you're gonna have a few nice used safes to sell off in Jan/Feb-ish...

Not unless I find goodies to fill them with

UGHHHHHHHH
My request wasn't that big!
Poor customer service, 2/7.

Whew! 2/7 is a lot better than 2/10!

So gun shops before favored the PPT law that mandates PPT to be done at a FFL. Now can we ask the same gun shops to repel that law?

It's a pain for the FFL and trust me it's a pain for the customers as well. We have to schedule to meet at a gun shop that might not be convenient to both the buyer and seller. We have to go during business hours of that shop and not close to the closing hours. We are at the mercy of the shop to do the transfer as fast or slow as they can. We are treated as second class customer because they only make $10 out of the whole transaction. On top of they we have to pay $35 and the buyer won't be able to pick up the gun in 10 days or whenever the shop is open after the 10 days.

I did a few transaction in parking lots before 1/1/2014 for C&R rifles and those were awesome, as painless and quick as it can be.

Get you some pointy elbows, then we will talk about an upgrade to 5/7.

Last month City Arms In pleasant hill said no to all PTP rifles.

You both sound like sheeple! I remeber the days when I could buy a full auto m16 in the 60's for $300 plus tax stamp!

Im only 27 so I used my handy dandy DeLorean. Next time I go back ill bring you guys a few

You sound like a brainwashed sheeple. I remember when I could pick up a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle, look in the "firearms" section of the classified, call the number listed, meet the seller somewhere and complete our private transaction without any government interference. Those were the days.

Sheeple!

I am the RAM!

Back in my day we used to mine the ore, smelt the shteel and forge our own gattling barrels! Would have conquered the world but we ran out of PBJ and chocolate milk.

No waiting out of the trunk of my car (little joke). But I used to buy and sell guns right out of the Recycler. Now don't tell anyone, but guns can still be found at yard sales and 99 times out of 100 they just want them gone and don't want, nor care about PPT's at FFL's. Typically they are from a long deceased relative and they had no idea what to do with them until you so graciously appeared.

A gun store complaining about doing PPTs is like liberals moving in close to a gun range and complaining about the noise.

Ok time to weigh in. Look at Baboosh's post 5 new safes. Let's say they only cost $3000 each, that's $15,000. At $10 per PPT he only has to do 1500 transactions to cover that cost. But that doesn't cover his increased insurance or anything else. Granted some transactions are DROS's and you make a whole $10 on those.

You all demand your right to PPT, really? All of you special snowflakes need to realize that your threat of "I'll never shop there" is meaningless since really soon there will be nothing to sell or purchase in the CA

You said "snowflakes"

[bug_eyedmonster]

I'm familiar enough with the guys at Solar Tactical in CV to say that it's not a made up story regarding their safes being full. From what I remember, they have a system of how the guns are stored based on the process. Space is designated to FFL to FFL transfers, PPTs, and store purchases. If they are out of space, then what would you want them to do? Buy a new safe for a very tiny back area and make things MORE crowded there to accommodate your transfer?

Yea...I remember that too!! I also think you can still do that on Craigslist and armslist but it's a little risky.

More like when a liberal found a job at a gun range...

We have people sending in rifles BY THE TRUCKLOAD. Almost no one is DROSing just 1 item.

Sorry! That's why i ordered the bulk of my stuff in July, just to avoid the rush and get out out of the way of others, and tried to not wait too long to start, but still both of your support staff helped me load the car
