Jumped on some Black Friday deals at dick's in Dover. Little did I know in DE you can't sell firearms before 7am. Wtf?!? So I woke up to make the hour drive to Dover (visiting family in DE for thanksgiving) 2hrs before I needed to! Could have slept in till 5:45 instead of waking up at 3:45!!!
The to top it off they didn't mention till I did the paperwork and bought the guns that they weren't running the paperwork till Saturday night and I have to drive home Sunday morning. So I may have had to drive 5hrs round trip to pick them up!!!
I get being too busy to run the checks on a flow basis, but fine print in your store ad somewhere that says store opens at 5am, but firearms sales cannot occur until 7am would be nice. Also letting people know up front when they saddle up to the counter, that they won't run checks till the next night would also be nice.
I'll grant I am a little less annoyed now as I just got the call a few minutes ago that I can go pick up my guns. So I can drive over on my way home (still 45 minutes out of my way, which is more of a hassle than hanging around while they run me, but better than a 5hr drive after work one night). At least I dodge that, but still so much added hassle.
Picked up a mossberg plinkster and Remington 870 (well, will be tomorrow now).
