Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Brazen Highway Robbery, Now

I'll tell you what's highway robbery, multiple firearm transfer fees on the same purchase. I'm buying 5 guns so you want $150 for one phone call? Is there something I don't know about firearm transfer? It seems like a decent gig, not real challenging.

The phone call is the easy/quick part. Logging each individual firearm in/out of an FFL's records is the part that's time consuming and needs to be 100% accurate.

well i hope that never happens to me or anyone else , i don`t think i will live to tell the story nor will one or two of these thugs . WTF

In Florida, the state only charges 4.00/transaction, yet some dealers charge as much as 100 bucks..

So like why do you buy guns that you have to do paper work on?

The PA Turnpike is highway robbery.
60 cents per gallon on gas for highway maintenance.
The the Turnpike charges 25 cents per mile, if you don't have a transponder and pre-pay them.



jorgel,
I thought the hogs here were bad @ $50.
Place I go raised the prices front $12 to $25. That's fair for an outside transfer. They deserve to earn something for the service.
I WILL NOT pay an add on fee if buying from them, some like to try
that. All deals are done on a "cash out the door" basis.

Is the link not working for you folks??

My sister lives in Jersey, she has told me about the tolls people have to pay in the East. Crazy.

Yes it works for me it does.

Old morons never open links. Too scared they are going get that “idennity theff”

lol

When I had my shop I charged $10 per firearm if you had a CHL or $15 without. In ten years I had on one man bitch, when he had 11 firearms come in and only wanted to pay $10 for the transfer of all of them. I told him to pick which one he wanted, because at $10 he was only getting one.

We provided a service, have cost and labor to log all the firearms... He took him a week before he came back to get his firearms and pay the fee. He satated he would never be back... I thanked him for that, but he lied.

When you take guns in stock record all the info you need from the gun. Then for every sale have the customer put his info in a computer. Print out the forms filled out using a laser printer. Have the customer sign the forms and you mail it to the government. Straight forward and quick. Just need some software. Oh, and keep records on compute encrypted to protect customers.

On the other hand there's me. The last time I had two come in to my FFL, He asked for $20 each. I insisted he take a fifty.

I really appreciate that he waits for the little brown truck and takes care of my stuff for me.

Is that a California thing? Sending paper to the Government?

Here the 4473 goes into a file and a call is made to NICS. Plus, of course, the dealer's bound book.

Unfortunately here it's different.
The transfers are through a State Police thing.
And they keep the records forever.

It has been challenged to the Supreme Court (on an equal protection
challenge ?) They ruled that because everyone was treated the same, it was equal. (No idea why it wasn't a 2A challenge)

If that dumbass had to do it himself, he'd realize the bargain you were giving with or without the CHL. I had a dealer I used for transfers who charged the same as you for a while and felt lucky to have found such a low fee when most were charging minimum $25 or more per transfer at the time.

TRH - maybe you should consider changing the title of your post.

Talk about thread drift...wtf.........

Seriously. It went off course instantly.
