Being a noob to this, why all the steps needed to buy one? Shouldn't it be like any other Gunstore transaction in Ohio?

The paperwork you're doing its basically all the information that's on a 4473.
The only things that are different are:
- needing to be a part of a club. (Makes sense to me.)
- need to show US nationality. Has to be more then drivers license any more as having a drivers license doesn't mean you're a US citizen any more.
- proof of marksmanship at some point in time. (It is the Civilian Marksmanship Program... )
I happen to carry a passport card as going into Canada is part of my job. And I have a CCW.. So the only odd ball thing to me is the club, which is easy with the GCA.
Since they do most of their volume via Mail, its easier to stick with one standard. Last time I checked, a gun store can't deliver to your house lol.
