Take the test, get the card, look at the guns, then tell them you are out of money and go buy somewhere else.

Yep or after you get the card ask to see their handguns.

haha

some stores do this because they only have a limited supply of the FSC cards, which i believe they themselves pay for in advance, which might also be the reason behind the limited quantities

hence, they want to make sure they have the FSC cards available to people actually interested in purchasing a firearm that also need to get a FSC card

[BigPimping]

That is all wrong. Never had that at my Big5.

[zinfull]

That is reason enough to buy a gun. Good job

[sfe187]

My friend hasn't decided which rifle he wanted to start with as he's brand new, to put him on the spot like that and forcing him to buy one immediately is just interesting.

[Bullets&Whitewalls]

I would struggle with that one. That is especially tough because the big 5 here seems to be constantly making up thier own rules. The 11 day thing is lame as well. Anymore I stick with getting my hunting license and stamps and that’s about it. It’s a shame really cause they do sometimes have good sales on the guns they sell.

So I got a friend of mine into shooting as he never had any interest in the past. After having lunch at Lakewood, I said how about lets go get you a FSC to get started. We were right next to Big 5 so what the heck lets get his FSC there.

Big 5 managers comes out says "you can take the FSC test here but you are REQUIRE to purchase a gun here right after".

I'm assuming this is Big 5's policy? or is this something new for every LGS?

If its something Big 5 made up for themselves, is it even legal?

Its been a while since I took mine FSC and maybe i'm out of the loop on this but I have never heard such a thing in the past.

Big 5 Lakewood

I saw that at Big 5 in Palm Springs today. They dont sell handguns and their ammo prices are high. Eff them.

There's no more limited supply nonsense. The instructor pays online and prints it immediately. No more ordering cards in advance from the doj.

LOL. That hasn't been the case for several years. There is no more "limited supply". FSCs are now done online and printed on the spot. No more pre ordering 25 card packets. You're info is way out of date.

Hahaha. That's good

[63j300]

Take him to hunter safety and he can buy a hunting license skip the fsc for long guns.

you're probably right CSA

that's what i get for living in a State that doesn't have stuff like that

im old news

that being true, sounds like Big 5 is up to some shenanigans

Drive a few extra miles to Ammo Bros. in Cerritos, or even Turners in Norwalk.
