Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters FFL transfer costs

More info:
The gun was used. I followed up with a local Sport store and they outlined the fees they would charge and it DIDN't include the state tax. I questioned them specifically about it and they said it's not req'd. I called the FFL I used and he said "oh no! I have verified this with the state"

Either way that will be the LAST transfer through him...... I don't want to bad mouth the FFL in Rohner Park CA. But my friends on the forum should be aware that if they use a FFL from Rohnert Park CA they may be paying too much!

Internet taxes on out-of-state sales has been in the news, or was a few months back.

States are p.o'd. that a guy in Arkansas can buy a pair of LL Bean boots and not pay state taxes. Maine gets the nut.

However, Orivis (and maybe other stores) who have outlets in your state will charge you state taxes, just as if you've bougth from the store.

There is a lot of legislation that has been floated, including the infamous internet tax, to try to keep purchasing money in the state where it's spent.

I suspect this will someday be a Nationwide movement for tax collection. You alredy pay the Federal Tax when you buy sporting good equipment, you just don't pay any state taxes if purchased on-line and out of state. (With exceptions.)

Huckabee's "Fair Tax" proposal is a value added tax. It is not inconceivable that such a tax would be applied to internet or interstate sales.
