Maybe when they went to fire for a casing, the switch was on auto.
Devil's advocate for the shop owner. Mistakes happen, non of us are perfect, sounds like he is just trying to get this done and over with, with the least amount of intrusion on both parties time and energy. Shoot the gun, send him the shell, call it a day. Go on with life and enjoy your new firearm. I learned a long time ago not to get upset over things we have no control over.
Tell the shop owner he provides the full box of ammo for the spent casing and you get the rest of the box.
If I were you I'd do the following:
1. Get a permanent record of the voice mail. Tape the message. That's the first notice you had that they didn't do what they were supposed to do, for whatever reason.
2. Take the firearm back to the FFL and let them collect a casing from it.
Regardless of what we feel about the rules, the risk to your liberty is just too great. They sold you a firearm. I assume they charged you to create a spent shell casing. They need to do what you paid them to do. Neither you nor the FFL want to encourage a visit from the boys.
But what would "the boys" do to me exactly? I jumped through every single hoop and have the documentation to prove it. I have paperwork saying that they obtained a shell casing (double checked it last night). What obligation , aside from being scared of a visit from the cops, do I have to talk to this dealer ever again? This is COMPLETELY on them. It would be a different story if they admitted they lost it and offered some form of compensation for my time and trouble, but they didn't.

Some thing doesn't sound right. The fired case needs to be sent with the paperwork. If it was not with it when msp got it they would have contacted the ffl before the paperwork could be approved. If it was me I would call msp licensing division and tell them the entire story and ask how you should go about this. Make sure you get the trouper name and ID number along with time you called.

You're in possession of a firearm that you know was improperly released.
sounds like you bought a used gun. I don't think shell casings are required for them.
