I asked this on the C&R forum, but I need an answer by tomorrow morning.  Some guys there are talking about buying a Sistema pistol at Gander Mountain. Some said they tried to use their C&R license, but had problems. My question: What would be the advantage of using a C&R to buy a C&R pistol at Gander Mountain? Why not just a regular purchase? Thanks.

In Missouri I can have a C&R pistol shipped to me with the license, or in this county I can wait the full seven days allowed by the law for the sheriff to issue me another permit to aquire a concealable weapon before I can take possession of the pistol. Even if it follows umpteen previous Just to illustrate the stupidity of Missouri law, a C&R holder can sell one of his C&R handguns to me without a permit to aquire, but if I want to buy a non eligible handgun, the permit is required for a private transaction. No one ever said legislators were smart. |
| In your case, probably no big advantage. Aside from any discount, I use my C&R for speed. Just hand the dealer a copy of my C&R and get his address, he writes down the serial number, I hand him cash and so ends the process. Gander Mountain probably has a fixed process they need to follow whether or not you use a C&R. I once tried using my C&R at Dunham's and they still made me fill out a 4473. |
Thank God I live in Texas. Thanks. |
Okay, about what I thought. Thanks.

The problem, as already stated, is the waiting period. If you live in Illinois, you have to wait 72 hours for a handgun and 24 hours for a long gun. It does not matter that I have over 40 handguns in a safe, I have to go through a cooling off period.  I guess I have no chance to prove that I am a responsible gun owner.  I can order C & R guns online, but going to a store in person makes people nervous. You never know I might want to do a spray and pray drive by with a Nagant pistol.  God Bless Texas and the other free states! I live in communist hell.
