I had a Kel Tec KS7 shotgun shipped to Bear Mountain Sports. The KS7 is the single mag tube model of the Kel Tec KSG.
Without contacting me, Bear Mountain Sports shipped the Kel Tec KS7 back. The owner later claimed that the gun was illegal. She first stated that the gun was barely 26 inches long. The manufacturer lists it as 26.1 inches.
I pointed out to the owner, Cynthia Thome, that 26 inches is the legal length. She says "well, it is barely 26 inches."
She then says "I don't care what the manufacturer says, the barrel is 17" and not 18.5". I asked how she measured it; she said snidely "with a tape measure" (insinuating I'm an idiot for asking). I pointed out to her that barrel length is measured from the face of the closed breech to the end of the barrel, typically by using a dowel or rod down the barrel with the action closed. She didn't seem to understand this and said "we're not going to use a dowel nor disassemble the gun to measure it".
In essence, she is the worst kind of Fudd (and FUD) dealer who is willfully ignorant of the law. She and her staff are incompetent and give a bad name to gun dealers.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS...Morons abound at Bear Mountain Sports.
