Preffered location for new FFL?

[FEDUPWBS]

I think Rob is great. BUT read below

Damn FEDUPWBS, you really don't like this guy do you? Did he burn you somehow, other than not wanting to deal with anything other than AR OLL?

Either way, here's the credit I give him:
1) At the time I delt with him (early 06), his markup was 50% while everyone else at the time was closer to 200%. Never said Rob was overpriced just wont follow the law.2) He saves me $80 in gas and 8 hours in driving time to make the 2 round trips to go anywhere else for ARs. I dont like ARs if you havnt noticedI wish he would deal with other types of OLL such as NDS or PTR too... but its his choice( My choice NOT to spend $ w/ him, if in his mind OLLs are illegal, he is still dirty.) and at least he's doing more than anyone else around our neck of the woods. If you know of someone else thats better thats local... please.. DO SHARE!

Working on that He also will not PPT any other legal OLL receiver.

Fedupwbs,

The poll is closed, but my vote would be (for purely selfish reasons) to have another choice in Concord / Bay Point / Pittsburg.

I read last night that Diablo Valley Gun Works is OLL friendly (at least pre-built 'fixed magazine' friendly), I've bought guns from them before, and I see no reason why I won't buy more from them again... however, their FFL charges seem hefty on things you can't find from Davidson's ($100-$150 if I remember correctly - feel free to correct if you've heard different) and I don't know if there are any (legal but evil looking) items they won't touch.

Goal is VERY LOW prices on transfers and firearms. Possible membership only/optional system, again think outside the box for the greater good. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Disclaimer: I am not an FFL, nor have I ever been an FFL. I do not know the laws. However, regarding limiting who you would sell to...

I was working with an FFL several years ago. He said that he used to "require NRA membership" to use his services. This came up in conversation with an ATF contact of his and was told this was a no - no. If he was offering this as a public service, he could not limit who he sold to.

That said, he initiated a new policy. NRA members got a "$35 Discount" when using his services. Anyone who was not an NRA member paid "Full Price". He in turn would send a $35 donation to the NRA for every one of these "Full Price" transactions.

Take this for what it's worth, but it may fall under the heading of "thinking outside the box."

Poll is closed but I wanna say my piece anyway

I'd like to see more FFLs in my area. Near me I've really only got Turners, they're not exactly the best shop out there

Now my area exactly is high rent, I'd say move inland a bit we're talking East Torrance, Hawthorne, Lawndale, maybe San Pedro.. Basically something that is out of the higher rents but close enough to the nicer areas of the South Bay would be good (all those rich folk in P.V. need to buy their guns somewhere, right?)

Hercules/Pinole area. Hercules has a business park & "friendly" PD. 45 minutes to Sac, 15 minutes to Concord/Walnut Creek, 1/2 hour from SF, 5 minutes from Ivan, Leelaw & me. It's not Richmond, that's for sure.

stockton/tracy/modesto
Then hire me :P
I need a better job

[Santa Cruz Armory]

I was thinking Scotts Valley. The only gun shops here closed years ago and the closest gun shop is in Watsonville and I won't say how I feel about their service/ selection, prices etc.
