Gun stores won't transfer "evil" complete lower

[Califpatriot]

Another great case of gun store FUD. Agreed to PPT a complete lower from somebody on Calguns. Went to one gun store in the South San Francisco area--won't name because I liked them--and we tried to do the PPT, they refused because it had a bullet button. I told them that was not the law and said we'll go elsewhere (respectfully); they gave me attitude and started sarcastically repeating "that's not the law, we're liars." (I didn't call them liars or really say anything else other than "that's not the law, you can do the PPT." The a-hole sarcasm was uncalled for.) Called two other stores in the same area, both of which said they won't transfer a complete lower with evil features.

If you're going to run a gun store in California, you should know what the law is. We're already limited in what we can do without gun stores restricting it further. Two of these places (the one I've visited and one I called) are ones I've spent a lot of money at, too.

You should name the store so others don't waste their time

Also name the other stores that you called

My thought too.

My local FFL won't do PPT's on AR's that have AR MagLocks because "Their DOJ rep said it was grey and advised them not to."

^^^ ARs or ar lowers. ? Missing info in your post.

[Califpatriot]

AR lowers--I think it says that in the first post?

I did a ppt at a LGS in Dec, the lower I sold had a std mag release on it. The counterguy was unsure as to what he was supposed to do. So, he removed it and gave it to the buyer. Easy

Unfortunately, I think most stores don’t know which way is up anymore... but that guy should not have been a dick regardless... out them, so future Calgunners can avoid be treated like that

my question was to js4 where my arrow pointed.

Some folks get tied up in the process and forget the objective of the mission...transfer the dang lower!

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that, what section of Penal Code precludes you from transferring this bullet button lower."

If they show you what they're having problems with, say, "Thanks;" if they can't, say, "Thanks for trying."

Remove the bullet button.

Transfer the lower; give the recipient the bullet button.

Share with us the name of the store and the code citation.

Last year I sold a couple complete LMT lowers-never did find a local shop that would PPT them leaving the BB's on-so I pulled the BB's off and transferred them at Addax.

Here's my thread:

Why didn't you go outside and remove the BB and then go back in and do the xfer?

You guys in the SF bay area really need to find other places to do business.

SF gives CA a real bad name and I frankly am sick of hearing about the liberal whack jobs in that city. Go to another city to do you gun purchases.

Agreed.
I have seen this in person while visiting a dealer in the early days of off list lower sales.
DOJ agent was flat wrong, but the dealer was scared enough to ablige this jerk. "Better to not sell them. It could cost your license".
It still happens now. Calling DOJ BOF 3 X's and get 3 different answers.
I don't blame the FFL.
