A dealer,any business, can do whatever he wants,but so can his customers !Lots of sellers happy to follow the rules and take a 03 FFL no need to deal with the ones that don't-they won't be around long anyway.


Dave,

I think the main reason was that they could not verify them on the weekends when they were at gunshows and the Atlanta office is obviously closed.

I'm not defending their poor business practices or ignorance of the BATFE Regulations. It's their business to lose. Just passing on what was explained to me.
