11 day wait ?

[sorensen440]

I'm fully capable of doing math and even geometry .. yet I work at The Sports Authority which also has an 11 day waiting period. It is a policy set by corporate, neither management nor employees have any say or altering of this policy. I don't believe it is an issue that needs addressing or harassing directed at the employees. If it's that big of a problem I would suggest for the customer to simply shop elsewhere. To this day I have never received a complaint about the 11 day waiting period. The paperwork we hand out also clearly states the date and time when pickup is allowed and we tell everyone about the 11 day wait. I've never received a clear answer from corporate about the 11 day wait, but I would speculate that they are simply being cautious to prevent a firearm from being released to early. it only takes the release of one to really put an FFL in a world of hurt.

I didn't mean to imply that the employees cant count but if the management doens't think they can I don't want to shop there
its not a diss on you
Its bad enough having to wait ten but when the store adds a day it really irritates me

From my experience....

Bass Pro in Rancho Cucamonga plays the 11-day game.

Turner's does the full 10-day....but not even a second earlier.

Turner's does the full 10-day....but not even a second earlier.

And thats exactly what everyone else is supposed to do
a second early and there breaking the law

I adhere to the "10 24-hour periods" law and will not release a firearm a miniute sooner. Why? Because it could cost me my license. I am also closed Sundays and Mondays and sometimes the 10th day falls on one of those closed days. The customer is informed of his pick-up date at time of purchase. If it turns out to be 10, 11, or even 12 days, I let them know up front. Doing any less is poor customer service.

Your mouth wash is getting old. It is not a question of not being able to count to ten. They want eleven days. Let it go at that or go elsewhere.
The choice is yours but this subject has been beaten to death.

Well if it is getting old, Stop breathing it, it must not be getting to old, your still reading and responding to it.
Like sorensen440 said, this is not a diss on the employees, they are only doing what they are instucted to do.
But some managements seem to want to help the Libs out and Tack on more of a waiting period.
And I do go elsewhere.

This has been covered so many times.
Venting to vent is OK but take it to where it will matter, tell them(management) you're not buying from them because of the 11 day wait.
The FFL I deal with is to the second of the 10th day, he gets all my business.

[HowardW56]

Seems alot of you sure are willing to put up with anything anyone wants to impose, legal or not.
The 10 day wait is unjust to begin with, most states have instant check.
If the guy behind the counter can't count to 10 he needs a new job.

Find a code section that makes it illegal, and I'll raise hell with every FFL that does it. Until then, it doesn't really matter to me...

You guys find the dumbest things to be annoyed by.

You guys find the dumbest things to be annoyed by.

Thank you! Somebody had to say it.

Lots of other things to worry about guys.

[hylander]

Kinda funny, when I started this thread I wasn't even venting, I was just asking a question on the legality of the extra day tacked on to the wait period.
But instead of just trying to answer my question, I got guys with their panties in a bunch wanting to flame me for asking the question, just like the store employees did.

I think someone should call doj for an opinion at the very least.

So What

Just go in on the 11th day and get your gun! Or just complain and dont give your business to a gun store that way more and more of them will shut down in california. Then go to a restraunt and yell at a waitress for not getting seated in a prompt manner or having hot enough coffee. Just a suggestion. I'm almost postive that they are just trying to keep in the clear from the DOJ taking their license away, so be a team player.

[Moonclip]

If the tards behind the counter can't count to ten as mentioned, there is a problem. It's not that hard a concept, 10 24hr periods.

[Bowser]

You guys are nuts. I'm happy to wait the extra 1 day to pick up my guns. It ensures that the FFL won't lose their license because they accidentally let a gun slip out a few hours early. i.e. 10am vs 10pm might not be clearly written.

[Animal Mother]

Sounds like there are alot of wanna be Gun shop managers out there. Its easy to sit back and criticize others and how they do that job. Im almost positive that that store isnt there just for you but for thousands of others in what ever city your from. Its just 11 days. If you can wait 10 you can wait 11. Let the gun stores keep their paperwork in order, that way they will be open next week and not another business closed buy the DOJ. Don't yell at the bus driver because he has to drive the speed limit.
