It's a well kept secret.

I wish. Was there last Friday night. Must have been pay day plus nothing better to do. It was kind of a zoo in there :sad20:

I was hoping to get Kat or one of the girls to help but they must be there more for show. :innocent0

It is a small store and can certainly get crowded. Luckily there is plenty to see while waiting my turn. Do wish that they had more selection of older guns. They are great with the new ones but I sure would love to find a nice SMLE Jungle Carbine or short Mosin.

Wouldn't sell me a gun today because he doesn't understand the new law. I'll never go back there.

OK, you can't leave us hanging like that. Why wouldn't they sell you a gun? They sell to me all the time. Maybe they didn't get word of the MSP waiver on the HQL for guns purchased prior to 1 OCT? :shrug:

He's not alone.

Dealers don't have the new apps, the new regs or the new procedures. In light of the fracked nature of this, many (most) are chillin' and waiting.

But MSP has now said we get the reprieve. Business as usual until 30 September. But a gun until then under the current rules. Then the denials.

Shop your FFL tomorrow, carefully.

What was the situation? What was his reasoning? Just curious because Ive always had a positive experience with Bobs and feel as though they are on "our side."

I don't know this dealer personally, but try again later tomorrow when the new info from MSP hits.

Cannot blame anyone for not moving when the state proposes new laws with no regulations and lots of threats behind them. These guys have mortgages and like to live in open sun just like the rest of us.

Their FB page says they got the PDF and they are up for usual sales.

Anyone that is interested can see his comments on his FB page, I couldn't copy and paste it from my device.

Sorry, couldn't get back on last night. Went down there yesterday because I had heard he had something I was looking for. He told me he sold out over the weekend but would have more in a couple of days. I asked about Oct 1 policy and he said HQL required. I said retired military it wasn't required. He replied that only exempted me from the training requirement as per the MSP. I tried to explain that retired was exempt and honorably discharged were exempt from training. He said no. Also told me he didn't attend the training session since he heard from others that different information was being put out at each meeting. Maybe he should have gone and gotten the right info.

B. A person is not required to possess a Handgun Qualification
License if the person:
(1) Possesses valid credentials or retirement credentials from a
law enforcement agency of the United States, the State, or any local
law enforcement agency in the State;
(2) Is an active or retired member of the armed forces of the
United States or the National Guard, and possesses a valid military
identification card

Went up the road and purchased something else as my way of saying F***U OweMalley.

Thanks for the update. I would have been chafed too. I have had this very conversation with at least two of Bob's employees who both recognized retired military do not require HQL. I am disappointed Bob did not attend the training nor apparently read either SB281 or the MSP web site that very clearly spells this out. I will have a follow up conversation at Bob's when I do a pickup later this week. I would hate to have to eleminate them as one of my regular FFLs for handgun purchases.

Bob's has become my 1st choice for spending my cash.

He not only lost my $600-$700 purchase yesterday, but I had previously looked up that he is Henry Rifle "Gold" Dealer. I was going to ask about one of the special edition guns, It will be picked up from another dealer on Friday.

The part in bold is incorrect. WRT military, only active and retired military (with current ID) are exempt from the HQL requirement (and the training, obviously).

You did post the wording - don't say squat about any honorable discharge.

Just sayin'

OK, here is the link to the regulations in the first post: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=132410
Go to page 11 of the PDF top lefthand corner section B-2 is what I quoted about active or retired not requiring the HQL at all. Now look at the next column section 29-B-4 under training requirements

(4) Is an honorably discharged member of the armed forces of
the United States or the National Guard;

Honorably discharged are exempted from completing the training requirement but still have to apply and submit fingerprints for the HQL

SB281 is confusing to everyone. So basically you're going to talk trash about Bob because he doesn't know every little aspect of a law that's not even in effect yet and that the lawmakers and the MSP don't even fully understand. Nice. Better that you do stay out of my LGS.

I would think that someone who's business was going to be severly curtailed would know as much about the law as possible, especially since such a large section of the population would fall into the active duty / retired catagory down here. You don't have to worry about me darkening his doorstep ever again.
