Walked out and then back in?

[Red96ta]

So my father and I did an interstate transfer of an off-roster gun. He shipped it to my FFL and I did all the paperwork and it went into jail. Went back ten days later and filled out more paperwork and then the FFL locked up the gun in a locked case and told me to walk outside for a few seconds and then walk back in....ok, not a problem....but why? I suppose I can see it if it were some SSE where I would walk out with the SSE and walk back in to have it converted but this was just a straight-forward transfer of an off-roster handgun...why did I have to walk outside?

At any rate, I'm now the owner of a jam-o-matic beretta nano works pretty well with 147gr semi wadcutters, but absolutely hates the 115gr FMJ's...it let me know by popping in the head with a spent cartridge every couple shots and then FTE on the last round....ugh

Were you a couple of minutes early? That's the only reason I can think of. Maybe he realized that 240 hours hadn't passed yet while you were signing the pick up paperwork and he wanted you to "arrive" again after the 240 hour waiting period.

Or maybe he had to pass gas and didn't want you to hear.

uh............why didn't you ask the FFL??????
wtf?

Maybe, because it’s off-roster, the FFL guy (by default) asked you to walk out/back in

He needed a moment for himself since the gun was leaving, they bonded..lol

No, the default procedure for an off roster pick up is to spin around three times while snapping your fingers before leaving.

Same here. Had to lock mine inna case(their case, I get no key).
Go outside.
Go back inside.
Hand over the case.
Gun goes in back room.
Gun comes back 1 min later.
I go home with gun.
Guns sucks.
Regret buying a PF-9.
Zimmerman redeems PF-9.
Shoot gun again.
Still sucks.

Actually it is part of the "jump thru hoops" the state and feds what you to do while getting a firearm you should just be able to have with no papers etc.
They want you to look like a fool so later they can call all gun owners idiots and use that as proof.

Did you have to give the secret handshake also?

Actually I was two days late since I had a balance and had to wait until payday on day 12...

I did ask what that part was for and he gave me a 'political' answer to the effect of, 'well, it just a couple extra hoops that ca is making us do to get you the gun.'
