Background Checks

[ontarget1911]

I don't believe you were ever Denied, you were Delayed. If you had ever been Denied you will never again be approved unless you formally, in writing, appealed your Denial to the ATF.  There is a specific formal

I have a customer currently in the process of an appeal. I called in his 4473 and he received a Delay at first. Before his 3 days expired I got the call back that he was Denied. When he came in for a refund I gave him a copy of the appeal process. He came in the shop last week to get a copy of the original 4473. He told me he was getting his documentation put together including getting finger printed. He said it is a slow process.

You gave him a refund? Are you taking the money for the gun before the background check is complete? Wow.

They are a gun shop ontarget1911.  You go in and purchase your firearm, pass the gubmint test, and take it home.  Or, you can put down cash to hold it, and when you come in to finish the deal later you pass the test and take it.  In this case they guy was in that mysterious Brady blackhole.

Last time I purchased there I saw two people put firearms on layaway, one pick up a layaway that was paid up, and two transfers from online deals.  This was all during the time when I was getting ok'd and they tracked down a box for my gun.

By the way - Welcome aboard the SS Nuthouse!

We have a layaway program.  Put 20% down on a gun and it is put in the back room with your name on it.  You have 60 days to pay it off.

If you are delayed by NICS and want me to hold the gun for you I need at least 20% down.  Most people pay it off because they had the money when they came in the door.  If you don't want to put the money down I put the gun back on the shelf and you take your chances.

If you do a special order I need at least 20% down.  When the gun comes in you have 60 days to pick it up.

If you let a layaway lapse the store retains the right to charge a 20% restocking fee.

Yesterday I had a guy call in who had a Bushmaster MOE on layaway.  He said he read reviews and wasn't impressed so he took if off.   Since the AR was very sell-able I put it back on the shelf and gave him a full refund of his deposit.  I sold it within the hour.  Management could have kept the 20% and sold it again but, in this case, waived the 20% restocking fee.  We are not in the business to piss off customers.  The owner just wants buyers to be committed to a purchase if we take a gun off the shelf.
