Question about C&R transfers in CA

[SamGoldstein]

I was at a LGS yesterday and I saw a pistol I wanted to purchase. It was definitely a C&R (Iver Johnson Top Break). I asked the LGS if they waive the 10 day wait if I have a COE and 03FFL. They said no. They also said, they don't do C&R transfers. So my question is, I thought that an 03FFL with a COE cannot be denied the 10 day waiver. Is this correct or no? I also thought that 01FFL is required to do C&R transfers if the firearm qualifies as such. Is this now not true?

How are they going to sell an off roster pistol without doing a C&R exemption on the DROS?

And you can't require a FFL to be smart apparently. You can hope for it, but not require it. So if they are morons, then you will have to wait the 10 days or go somewhere else.

Yes, I should have asked how are they are gonna sell an off roster pistol. But, if they know its a C&R but refuse to waive the 10 day wait, isn't that illegal if I have a 03FFL and COE? What a bunch of morons. Well, they lost a sale.

You are exempt from the wait, but some (most) won't play ball. I have had plenty of FFL's turn down the C&R/COE. No worries, they won't get my business.

Their choice, they don't have to if they don't want to.

If it was a gun that I wanted and the price was right, I'd play their game and wait the ten days.
