My ffl says no more Buds Gun Shop transfers

now that someone mentioned harware stores i remember my dad buying guns at western auto.

I bought guns from JC Penney, especially when they were getting out of the gun side of things - great deals

He is a local guy here where I live. I was looking for a 642....Bud's has it for 289 delivered....add in the typical; $25 transfer fee and the total is $314.00 - still not bad compared to Gander. he then asked if he could quote me - he did. same gun from his distributor, with tax, profit background, etc....OTD $295.00...........

Bud's price is $364. My tag price is 389.

For my buds gun transfers, I go out of my way to use an FFL that is not an LGS. (usually a pawnbroker). I love it when it's time to buy a new gun, but I dread having to set foot in a LGS.

In fact, unless you're a retail chain, like a bass pro or a gander mtn., the only first time business you'll get from me is my transfer. If that goes well, maybe you get to second base next time.

If you don't want my business, then I can happily take it somewhere else, and we can both be happy!

This doesn't seem substantially different than any the other threads where some FFLs insist that transfers are tantamount to going to their house and helping yourself to all their beer and other FFLs insist transfers are as good as printing your own money. I suspect the truth is somewhere it in the middle, but I doubt we're going to sort it out with all this bickering.
