This just didn't seem right, so was wondering what the general consensus would be in this situation.
A friend of mine in Virginia (I'm in IL so I don't know any VA-specific laws) recently purchased a handgun from a gun shop. What he purchased wasn't on hand, so the shop ordered one after my friend paid for it. He said that because the firearm wasn't in hand, a background check wasn't made and that it would be once the firearm arrived.
He's worried that he might not pass a background check and what would happen to his money for the paid gun. I siad that it's my speculation that the shop would have to refund him, but I have no idea.
Short version:
1. Friend goes to shop
2. Pays shop for a gun
3. Shop orders gun
4. gun is shipped to shop
5. Background check to be made on friend (Let's say it fails)
6. Now what?
So, is it up to the shop whether he refunds money? Did something happen in a wrong order? This kind of seems like a special order. Any missing variables?
