I recently bought a pistol from a dealer, but found another pistol deal that i really dont want to pass up. The dealer wont take any lay away cash, or hold the pistol for me. Is it possible for me to cancel my dros? Also will that count as a handgun purchase, and i will have to wait another 30 days. or if i cancel it, can i go purchase the other pistol right away?

See if the dealer will hold it if you pay the full amount.Disclaimer:

so your going to back out of a deal that you had already done with one dealer to go buy something else ?

ya i know its messed up but my local mom and pops shop is giving me a brand new G20 for $520 out the door. i really cant let that slip by.
Plus i cant pay full amount because they take cash only, and i dont have enough cash for full purchase amount unless i get funds back from original purchase.Last edited by modenar1; 11-20-2008, 9:16 AM.Comment

Give the dealer the the full $520 and ask them to DROS it after your other DROS expires. You just have to wait a litle longer to pick it up.Frank

Perhaps you can have the dealer cancel the DROS and put the pistol on layaway then pay the rest and restart the DROS after the 30 days on the other pistol are over?Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

I'm assuming you didn't pick up your DROS'd pistol yet. Did you already pay in full? I'm sure you can back out of it, but expect to be hit with really high restocking fees - I wouldn't be surprised at hundreds. Plus think about the ill will you'll create with that gun shop. This may or may not be important to you. In my experience, 'impossible-to-pass-up-deals' come by every month if you're looking. I'd just enjoy my new gun and wait until the bank account recharges and then start looking for deals on my next.
My opinion is worth what you paid....

i just spoke with gun shop, they charge 25% restocking fee. now there is no way imma loose that money. So just gonna stick with this pistol i bought. and buy a G20 later on down the line.Comment
