My fiance and I purchased our first firearms last Friday and our experience could not have been any worse. My fiance who his a rather amicable person, ended up in a screaming match with the owner due to his terrible attitude. The first words out of his mouth when she told him she was there to pick up a gun, was "you cant pick up someone else gun". This did not sit well with her and im sure it wont with any other females out there who like to shoot. His employee (Pete) ,who i do not wrong at all, told us it would be no problem to come in at 3:15 to do our paperwork, my fiance walked in at 3:14 and was told that she wasnt early enough and he would not do her paper work ( by Elliot the owner). The man is scum and it took another business owner to come in ( my friend who owns freehold jewelers) to convince him that what he was doing was wrong. He finally filled out the paper work and we left with our guns but the man is the ultimate piece of crap. He even had the audacity to talk about us while we where standing there waiting for the paperwork to be done. Please save yourself the trouble and dont ever even step in the door unless you like being treated poorly.

I am slightly confused. Was she there to pick up someone else's gun? Was she there to buy her own? Did you and she buy your own?

yea sorry i should have said that, we both had purchased guns from Florida gun exchange and had them shipped to him

Huh. Never heard of them.

Huh...

I just shipped my S/A XD40 from there to a buyer from NJGF, smooth as butter. I've also had several transfers done there over the years, never a problem. Of course, Pete is the gun guy and I've never had more than a conversation with the other guy.

Essentially the store owner is correct in what he said, but maybe didn't say it the "right" way. Whether or not the fact that she can't pick-up & pay for someone else's gun "sits well with her" is of little consequence. She'll just have to "get over" that part of it, no matter who does your transfers in the future.

 

Sorry you had this problem. Good luck getting a new FFL with a nicer attitude.

I'm quite sure it was the fact that he immediately assumed she was not the gun owner and copped an attitude.

 

There is most certainly a right way to ask, and since he immediately did it the wrong way, he's a flooking ahole.

That about sums it up right there.

Sounds like a real a-hole.

I understand the stresses that a ffl has to stand but a person should not go into any type of business if they do not have the people skills required.
