Not sure if this has been covered before or not, but wanted to bring it up. I stepped out to grab a late lunch, when I returned my manager told me he saw two cars pull into the parking lot, and sit there with their lights on for a few minutes talking. He then saw one guy get out, and pull an AR out of his vehicle, and hand it over to the other guy. When he (manager) went out to see what was going on, he was informed that they had met here to buy/sell the gun, that it was a good 1/2 ways point, one guy lived in Fort Wayne, the other in Bourbon. They were told they could not do the transaction here, as we are a licensed dealer, and that all firearm transfers on our property have to be done via 4473, and that we would be glad to facilitate the private party transfer for them. Neither party seemed to understand, and left upset. One guy, as he was pulling away, stated the he was sorry he had disrupted our business. Not sure where that came from, as he had in no way disrupted anything, it has actually been a pretty slow Thursday, and my manager was happy to get an excuse to take another smoke break!
I realize that not everybody wants to fill out the 4473, nor do they want to pay the transfer fee that we, as well as other gun shops charge, but COME ON!!! Will somebody please help me understand these guys point of view? Maybe we should have offered to do the transfer for free?
