Never mind

I've purchased 2 handguns from them in the last 4 months and I have a third in jail. I've had nothing but great experiences from them. Everytime I stop in their store to see what they have under glass, they have always been friendly when I'm window shopping.

When AR-15's were selling like mad earlier this year, they would have auctions/raffles on Fri. The time I was there they sold 5-6 AR's and an AK. If your raffle ticket # got called, you got to choose which rifle you wanted to buy and they were selling them at MSRP. IMO, very fair and legit business.

Sorry OP you had a bad experience. They have always been more than fair with me. Why did you drive 45+ miles? Dont you have a LGS closer to you to?

Check out Retting's FB page, good stuff to know about if you're in SoCal. They haven been getting in some great EBRs lately and priced fairly.

I've never had an issue with them. 2 PPT's, 1 Handgun purchase, and multiple ammo purchases. Always treated nice, fairly, and promptly.

And the crux of the issue is what happens to a PPT firearm when the buyer is denied and the seller is under 21? Here you go.

28050. (a) A person shall complete any sale, loan, or transfer of a
firearm through a person licensed pursuant to Sections 26700 to
26915, inclusive, in accordance with this chapter in order to comply
with Section 27545.
(b) The seller or transferor or the person loaning the firearm
shall deliver the firearm to the dealer who shall retain possession
of that firearm.
(c) The dealer shall then deliver the firearm to the purchaser or
transferee or the person being loaned the firearm, if it is not
prohibited, in accordance with Section 27540.
(d) If the dealer cannot legally deliver the firearm to the
purchaser or transferee or the person being loaned the firearm, the
dealer shall forthwith, without waiting for the conclusion of the
waiting period described in Sections 26815 and 27540, return the
firearm to the transferor or seller or the person loaning the
firearm. The dealer shall not return the firearm to the seller or
transferor or the person loaning the firearm when to do so would
constitute a violation of Section 27500, 27505, 27515, 27520, 27525,
27530, or 27535. If the dealer cannot legally return the firearm to
the transferor or seller or the person loaning the firearm, then the
dealer shall forthwith deliver the firearm to the sheriff of the
county or the chief of police or other head of a municipal police
department of any city or city and county, who shall then dispose of
the firearm in the manner provided by Sections 18000, 18005, and
34000.

So if I run a PPT and the buyer is denied, I must forthwith (www.dictionary.com = immediately; at once; without delay) return the firearm to the seller.

Your seller is under 21. So if you continue reading if I cannot legally return the firearm to the seller then I shall forthwith (again, immeidately) deliver the firearm to the sheriff or the chief of police.

Now I am not commenting on how your brother was treated as I wasn't there. However, you are flat wrong when you state they could have legally held onto it for 30 days. They legally could not. By processing that PPT, they would put that firearm in jeopardy of being returned to directly to the police.

At my store, I don't need to treat you like garbage to explain that. In fact, if it was a rostered pistol I would have offered to transfer it as a regular transfer for $35 like a PPT. That way if the buyer was denied, the gun would not have to be turned over to the police. Then in that case I could have waited for your brother to turn 21 and then DROSed it back to him.

They might not have told you any of this and just said they couldn't do it. They might not have treated your correctly. Again, I wasn't there. However, the fact remains it would not have been legal to return the firearm to anyone other than law enforcement immediately after denial of the buyer. It is what it is.
