Quote History Quoted:
I sent mine to Kent ffl to ffl before the requirements took affect because it was actually cheaper that way. An ffl can ship USPS Priority Mail, which mine did.
Don't know about your states requirements, but mine (Tennessee) my ffl logged it into his book as a repair. Then technically I guess it was his property. He shipped and recieved it back from Kent. He then logged it back out of his repair log to me. With shipping and insurance, I think it cost me about $10.
I don't know how much trouble the actual Communifornia requirement causes. Guess I will find out because as soon as I find a G34, it and an M&P are going back to Kent.
I get the feeling the ffl's you guys are contacting don't want to bother with the five minutes it takes to fill a form out.

I was going to use Polymer Refined but with the new requirement to xfer ffl to ffl I'm out. Unfortunately my state collects tax on incoming transfers and regardless of how the law is written, finding a dealer that will 'be nice' about it is hard, and having to pay a xfer fee twice is not appealing.

It seems like around here it's more that they don't understand. The CA requirements are actually stupid easy. The only problem is that sometimes the FFL may have to wait for a response. But generally in my experience (working for an FFL) you go to the CA website, fill out some brief info, then print a page and put it with the shipment. You fax one copy to the receiving FFL and the other goes in the box. Simple.
The problem my state has is the sales tax requirement. You could move from your place in TN, to WA, then have an FFL back home ship all your guns to an FFL here, and WA would want sales tax on the values of all of them.
I won't get in to the nitty gritty of it, but suffice to say, most part time gun store employees don't know nothing but what management told them.
I got in an argument out of nowhere the other day at a Quantico Tactical with a guy who later revealed he was the manager. He was wrong about how the 4473 form and the NICS system works, plus he referred to it as a 4413 or something like that. After he said he was the manager I wound it down and said "it's not important" and stopped taking up his time.
But, my experience with doing transfers in this state now that i'm not on the other side of the counter has been less than stellar.
