Gaeducator FFL prob

mag
I have a tip to ease all future transactions. "Georgia Firearms License" Go see your county Probate Court and get one. In the future you will not have to submit to a background check.

I am on the other side of Atlanta and do not have any first hand experience with any dealers on your side of town.

This guy sounds like the "Herny County" sheriff in the "Sounthern Stereotype" ads on Turner South. They actually spell it "Herny" on the side of the squad car [:)]

    Way ahead of ya. After Ed Turner started giving me this problem. I went to the Probate Court and filed an application for a Georgia firearms license. Only problem is that application will take up to 16 weeks for license to arrive. quote:Originally posted by mag

    Simply put you've got a situation where the FFL ... and you ... are most likely locked in a personality conflict. What the FFL says is absolutely true, and FFL's can ask for more than the basic requirements if they want to, so this guy can jerk you around for a while if he chooses, and it looks like he has chose.

    I seriously doubt if he will ship the gun back as I believe he is an experienced dealer (maybe his staff isn't, but I think he is) and he clearly knows that shipping it back to someone who is not an FFL holder would be a huge mistake. That part is just "noise on the wire".

    There is no apparent "basis in fact" for him to deny transfer of the firearm to you, you will just probably have to have a helping or two of "humble pie" and submit to his game.

    Of course there may be another option ... find another local dealer, explain your situation to him and if he is willing to help you "Mr. Ed" is pretty much compelled to transfer the weapon to another legally licensed dealer who would then transfer it to you. Yes it may cost you a few bucks more, but suing the sucker is going to cost you, even if your a licensed attorney, there is your time, filing fees, etc.

    Standing up for a principal is a good thing, but it sounds as if you have a "cracker" with his back up so you may be standing for a long time if you keep butting heads with him ... so for cryin out loud just cut yer losses and get this over with.[:D]

    It would be perfectly legal for him to send the firearm back to the seller even if the seller is unlicensed. See 27CFR178.147.

    Woops! Thanks for catching that one EOD, I think it's time to go read the little green book again.[B)]

    So now there are 2 options, to playing his game.
