Sounds possible. ATF has done some pretty wierd stings around here before.

The daeler did the right thing. As soon as anything gets wierd at all, it's time to call off the deal.
My guess is that it was 1 of 4 things: ATF or LEO sting a reporter trying to 'prove a point' a do-gooder trying to set up the gunshop OR some pissed off broad trying to get a weapon to off her SO because she didn't like her Christmas present. |

I suppose anything is possible, but more likely a gang ho, trying to get one for her prohibited boyfriend.

Or she is buying as a staw purchase for someone she knows can't - and doesn't want her name on it cause she expects it will be used in a crime.

Did the shop ask for a LTC first? If not that was the only thing they did wrong. I have heard of it happening in mass before. (ATF) Other wise good call on the shops part.

What's an LTC? Sounds like something we don't have here in the Free South.

You mean you have to WAIT for your weapons???
YIKES !!! Here in the Great Free State of Arizona, we have "insta-check" so you fill out the yellow form, gunshop makes ONE phone call and wham-bam, thank you Mam, you walk out with your new purchase !!! That is unless you happen to have a CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) then there is NO PHONE CALL !!! You pays your money and walk out !!! Sorry, we are going to open up an Immigration Center in Arizona to screen out all the Liberal/Democommies prior to letting you move here !!! |

Last time I did it was for 3 pistols. |

Scott Hey, don't blame us because your politicians caved. Did they put a gun to their heads? [:D] NY doesn't have that one gun a month bs. It does depend on what county you reside in if they will give you p.o.'s in advance though. No NICS check either if your permit is NICS certified. |

It only takes 5 minutes in Mass to buy a gun. If you have a license, walk in, fill out the 4473 and the state paperwork, do the insta-check thing, pay your money and walk out with the gun. There is no waiting period or limit.

There is no waiting period or limit. Yup, basically same thing here in CT. Back to original post, why would the local PD (whose officers frequent this gunshop quite a bit) mention only the fact that it might have been a sting op? Maybe they were warned beforehand? Usually, police downplay stuff. |

It could be that they heard there were some investigations in the area and just assumed.

My understanding of the stupid thing is NY pushed for it here and two other states. And they did not work alone. Federal pressure was added, too. Thigns like [b]NO[/b] Federal grants for police, fire, EMS, et cetera.....

You [b]NEVER[/b] know what the Gov is gonna do next. The first day I worked at the convenience store I used to work at, a kid about ten years old came up to the other cashier and asked her for a pack of Marlboros. She asked for his ID, and he left. He got into one of two Crown Vics parked on the side lot. The Crown Vics both had several people in business suits in them, and "extra" antennae on the roofs..... Scott |

Quoted: Ya just gotta love CT CCW. Now if only they hadnt banned Thompsons . . . AND AK style rifles... Don't forget, one downside to CT is that we have defacto registration of handguns. A DPS-3-C form gets sent to the State Police to keep on file & additional forms have to be filed when the weapon is sold so they can track it. They also try to encourage people & dealers to use the form for tranfers of long guns, but it's not a law. [url]http://www.state.ct.us/dps/SLFU/FirearmsPrivateSale.htm[/url] |

Before 1993, CT was probably one of the best states in the country to buy/own guns. Now, it is in the middle, not even close to being good, but not near the worst of them, either. Yet.
It will happen. Especially if Jepsen's little baby (expansion of the '93 AW ban comes back to life). Then it will be time to move or... |

If I didn't have to wait for that, I would have had it the next day. |

If I didn't have to wait for that, I would have had it the next day. Each county in NYS has different rules and regulations for issuing purchase orders for additional handguns. Some counties will issue several PO's in advance and in that case there is no waiting period. Other counties require that you amend your permit and add the new handgun before they will issue a PO. In that case it might take several weeks or even months of waiting to pick up that new handgun. |

Still fond of the home state. Once a year visit to the sheriff's office for a pistol permit (to purchase a pistol). Go to the gunshop, do the 4473, show the permit, buy and walk out with the gun (any gun). Now if they hadn't banned classes II and III.

They should've said 'let me talk to the manager' and gone back and called the cops. Then stall her until they get there and have her questioned and detained for attempting to purchase a firearm illegally.
