Has anyone had to wait for an FFL transfer?

[Squib Joe]

It's also a crime to let firearms sit without checking them in....they need to be logged in within 24 hours of receipt...

No. If you have a commercial record (an invoice, statement or packing slip) of the acquisition, the ATF allows 7 days for the dealer to make the entry in his bound book. Other firearms must be recorded by the end of the following business day.
( 27 CFR 478.125(g) )

We can also debate whether he owns the property or not. He isn't allowed to take possession of it without transfer through and FFL, but he paid for it and he owns it.

Paying for something and owning it are two very different things, believe me. People that can't own firearms pay for them all the time - and when that happens they generally need to have them shipped back.

Generally? What happens in other cases?

[Squib Joe]

Sometimes the ineligible transferee will abandon the gun, or we will keep it and reimburse them for it. But mostly they just get sent back.

I say stop by the place and talk to them. One time my transfer was "lost" because a new employee did not record it correctly, but 5 minutes on site straightened it out

[wasfuzz]

I fail to see how reporting the actual circumstances to the police would be a crime.

No it would not be CRIME -and it is a Civil matter and cops don't generally deal with Civil matters, nor do they really care!

The reason is that they weren't done cleaning it after every employee of Fisherman's Corner got to shoot a couple of boxes of ammo through it!!!

[user293]

Well they did a good job cleaning it if they did. Gun looks good.

do not use the same place?.. how long did your transfer take , in the store?

Was an Sri Trojan 1911 .45 from Dawson precision in Texas. some guy in the store said it was a cute name. It took just as long as any transfer. Just filled out the 4473 , he made the call and I paid and left. 15 mins maybe.

Show up with a copy of the tracking number. Tell them that if they don't transfer it, you will need to report it stolen.

I transferred a pistol to an out of state customer, two weeks later the customer called me saying the gun shop had not received it. They claimed they didn't have it until I produced proof of signature/delivery....then all of a sudden it showed up. I was close to calling LE on that one....

i think my co-worker was about to get ready to own that gun store by law-suit.

stupid, stupid gun store.
