Emphasis on the underlined bit. You must contact the receiving FFL before arranging a shipment to them from any dealer, including Bud's.
No law requires a heads-up to the receiving dealer. Their own policies might, though. We ask our customers to give us a heads up, but don't get all PO'ed when something arrives unexpectedly. If we did we'd stroke out in a month.You must contact the receiving FFL before arranging a shipment to them from any dealer, including Bud's.
I go to the dealr first"can I do an FFL transfer on a blah bluh firearm from goodys sales?"
Gun dealer says"sure you can"
I contact the dealer once I put the order through, that way they know it's on it's way and who it's for. Then I just wait for the phone call telling me my new howitzer has arrived.
Or in the process of all this, the dealer has one, or can order it for me and maybe save a couple of bucks. Or it may cost a couple of bucks more, he has to eat too.
Always check with the dealer first on every FFL transfer!

Larry was late to work, so he felt it was alright for him to violate the speed limit to get there.kingpin008 said:If they're doing a lot of business, it's possible that they haven't had a chance to log it in yet.
Also keep in mind that this gun essentially showed up on their doorstep unannounced - they may be taking their sweet time just because it caught them off guard and added to their already busy schedule.
A gun shop in/near Manassas that offers memberships? That's a new one on me.I choose this shop because I had planned to join as a member there.

I believe it is a gun range with a shop attached according to the OP.A gun shop in/near Manassas that offers memberships? That's a new one on me.
( because legally I think they can only hold the gun for a certain length of time)
That's what my FFL told me once. But it may have been the time when the seller, a non-FFL, had not sent enough identification information for my FFL to log the gun in. Either that or he was just "threatening" the seller that he would have to send the gun back unless he got more identification. I guess that is why some FFLs won't accept shipments from non-FFLs - sometimes a little more hassle.What makes you think that??
