Bore Lock Question

[nuxbag]

I'm getting mine from United in Rockville I haven't seen their policy posted. I guess I have to email them before I show up. I seem to have found an Omega for 25 no tax.

Just remember NOTHING in the statute COMPELS a shop to sell you the lock. The statute simply says the lock must be WITH the gun when sold.

I understand that, I'm kind of stuck with them right now so if they force me what can I do? What other recourse do I have? I've read the transfer process on their site and it, doesn't mention the lock at all whether you have to buy one or make sure you bring one they're closed until after the holiday.

Exactly but according to them I cannot bring my own approved lock and that I must purchase one from them when purchasing a gun whether new or used.

It's their store, their business & their rules...

You won't change their mind...

Buy somewhere else (or drive yourself crazy)...

You are in the driver's seat...

Sometimes if a store knows you know the law they won’t be pushy about it.

But yes their store their rules.

Personally I don’t deal with dealers who make you spend money on an accessory you aren’t required to buy.

But that’s just me

Rules at the cop shop were a 10 day wait to help the MSP. Its rules. Not the law.

Ive bought, cough, a handgun or two from United and they are good people. Bring your own lock you should be fine. Dealers that ignore the lock you bring and force you to buy one are not interested in a second sale. United thrives on repeat business. Be sure not to look at any of their consignments either they are very hard on your wallet.

I ran into this in Bass pro, even told me the law requires it. I left.

Just bring a lock with you. I keep a tampon (omega lock) in my car for such occasions. Like others have said, I wont do business either with a shop that requires me to purchase a lock when I already have one. They are IP's on here so PM them and ask. I have had dealers ask me to see my lock, just ask me if I had one with me and others lend me on to walk out the door. I returned it after a successful transfer to my trunk. It gets easier if they know you (read- do business with them frequently). There is something to be said for forming a relationship with a shop or two. I got some that go back more the 20 years.

Good eff dealers who gouge you for more money.

It’s dishonest or just greedy even if it’s their choice

Thank you for sharing your experience with my specific dealer.

You can find them on Flea Bay cheap, sometimes.

It's also easily removed with a super cheap set of diagonal cutters or any other sharp item given a little time.

Yes I understand how the Omega lock works, I own several of them. I was responding to where you said:

I know this is old but, the gun I'm waiting on is a Smith & Wesson and comes with a red cable key lock. Is this not sufficient to meet this standard?

and

I don't understand why this lock doesn't meet the external definition. It stops the gun from firing and it's keyed.

The cable lock is easily defeated by a pair of cheap diagonal cutters which is why it's not adequate per Maryland's requirements.

Yeah I just thought it was interesting the guys from Maryland and he opened it with a Bic pen. That's pretty easily defeated
