Wow... Turners doesn't want my business any longer!

[Ronin2]

Wow. The thread crap brigade is out in full force tonight.

Few minor points. I've purchased guns from turners and brought my parents there to buy a gun too. I would have bought even more guns from them, but they didn't have the gun I wanted in stock at the time I wanted to purchase.

This was the first time I've ever done a PPT. Literally, the first time I've *ever* done a PPT as opposed to buying new.

I did apologize for wasting their time when they said it was correct. I also thanked them for checking. However, he might not have heard either since he didn't let me get a word in edgewise.

But, thanks everyone for assuming that I'm an *******. Much appreciate it.

I don't ask for much around here, but I do ask for some respect and for the ad hominem's and wild assumptions/assertions to cease. I do a crap load of stuff for the gun community in general, and I think I've earned a little bit of insulation from being attacked on this board. So, let's try to keep this discussion civil.

Really???? First time you have ever done a PPT was this last Sunday???

Like I said, I DROSd 4 guns on Sunday; had no issues. David was fine, gave good service. It took a while to do, but not because he was slow.. DROSing 4 guns just takes time. I was patient the entire time.

This is the attitude of an a*****e;

Maybe.. But, I'll worry about his "bad day" right after he calls me and apologizes. They know my phone number... (And where I live, my date of birth, DL #, etc....)

Doing a PPT is an ACCOMODATION !!!!

LOL

no,it's the LAW
part of having an FFL in CA is they must do PPT's
not they can do them on days they want or as fast or slow as they want.
$10 for 10 minutes work, drives customers into there store where you can sell them things like GUNs, AMMO, etc.....

It was when I dared suggest they had possibly written the wrong serial # down for an old Colt revolver that they then said that they don't want to deal with me ever again.

When I called today, I was nothing but polite, and was just making an honest inquiry about the serial number to ensure it was correct. They were the ones who gut all wounded and injured because I wanted to confirm the serial number before I wasted 10 days waiting on a gun to be released that was never technically DROSd...

I'm a good customer to places who treat me well. I spend a ton of money at the Apple store in Temecula; they know me there by name. Yeah, I complain if something breaks, but I'm completely reasonable about things. If there's something wrong, I want it fixed.. I don't threaten, I don't yell, etc.. I just want to fix the issue and get on with my life (and buy more stuff).

In Turner's case, complaints, apparently, aren't taken well. Today's phone call with Larry was beyond rude. I was calm, polite and even slightly apologetic for wasting their time to double-check the serial number.

So, I guess Annie's Get Your Gun and The Shootist should be happy -- I'll be frequenting them a bit more often now than I have in the past...

Oh, and Turner's? I'll be happy to accept their heart-felt apology for the way they've treated me today. But, I suspect the odds of an apology happening are somewhere between 0 and none.

You really expect us to believe you don't threaten when challenged or not getting your way....LOL

Let me be clear. Your entire post is libelous, lies, untruths, and fictitious. I suggest you not continue down this road of libel and slander. It wouldn't be a particularly smart move on your part.

Nope. I'm not someone who ever would dream of threatening someone else.

And, yes, the absolute first and only time I've done a PPT was Dec 30, 2012.

Anyways, like I said, I'm done in this thread. I'm getting attacked for demanding to be treated with respect by a business I was a paying customer at. So, yeah, if you guys are OK with doing business at a store that treats you poorly, keep doing business there. I wouldn't treat my clients like that, and I don't expect to be treated like that by others.

Thank you for posting this. You're absolutely right; PPT's are required by law. If we suddenly can't do PPT's because they don't make *enough* money on them, every one of our 2nd Amendment rights will be substantially limited.

Firearms dealers are required to conduct private party transfers pursuant to Penal Code section 12071(b)(5). Dealers may not limit the days or hours in which private party transfers are conducted.

Your right to buy and sell private property shouldn't be restricted because a 3rd party figures they're not making enough money on it (when required by law to perform the action).

To put this into perspective, that would be akin to the DMV not issuing you your drivers license renewal unless you *also* buy a new car from the clerk's brother-in-law. Want to buy a car from a private seller? Then, I guess no drivers license for you!

And if they spend too much time and effort on it to where they lose money they will simply raise prices elsewhere in order to stay afloat. That $21.99 box of bullets may become $22.99 so that the store makes the same profit in the long run. Don't think $10 for 10 minutes is enough to keep stores afloat necessarily. They are all different. If you did this full time and made $60/hr, then take out your expenses and taxes, you'd find you may wish to keep your day job.

A Bro (OP) let it go.....
