It Just Ain't Right!
Well, as many of you know me here, it is no secret I buy allot of guns. On a scale from 1-10 with ten being highest, I buy ALLOT OF GUNS!
Now I told you that so I could tell you this;
Way back in October '08 I got a call from a Turners store manager that they had found a used gun for me that I had said to watch for, well, pretty close. I was looking for the S&W Chief's Special .45 ACP (CS-45). What they found was a brushed SS CS-9 chambered 9mm.
Liking the 1/4" smaller and adding one additional round, made me really like the gun. However because I had so many new and used guns (non PPT) that require a 30 day wait, this one would be quite a while before getting to come home. Since I had already ordered several new guns (pre-Obama), the earliest pick up date would be after all the other mandatory 30 day waits were fulfilled. That day finally came in mid April and the actual pick up was today.
What I am complaining about is that even though I was PAID IN FULL (and have a receipt that shows it) and that I wanted to pick the gun months ago. The state would not allow the CS-9 to go home with me.
Enter Obama and the governator. I was finally able to do the DROS, but because of the increase in taxes in California and even though I had a "paid in full, balance zero" I was informed that since I didn't take possession of the gun before today, I now was responsible to pay the difference in tax.
The only reason I didn't pick it up sooner was because of the states goofy rules and now I have to pay the difference in the tax money. They want to reach back and charge me more tax on top of what I already paid in full in October.
It just ain't right!
