Easy solution - don’t do business with people who don’t want to do business with you.
Yeah it got me in trouble. In 6 months I picked up an M57, G1898, Cz82, SKS, Colt OP, a couple of P64s through my C&R. Not including a couple of other C&R pieces that weren’t with my license.
Then my wife found out I hadn’t bought 2 or 3 guns last year like she had been thinking I had (I hadn’t really lied. I just didn’t mention the purchases and she hadn’t asked).
Needless to say several of those have since been sold to keep the marital peace.
^^THIS, very simply put, but unfortunately it hasn't stopped people from bitching about it for years now.........
I let my FFL-03 expire. I'm not sure whether or not to reapply. My last purchase was an M1 Garand from the CMP. You don't need a C&R license to buy rifles from them and they don't respect it on pistol sales.
The easy peasy surplus market is gone. There will always be occasional great buys for folks willing to put the effort in, but I just don't seem to have the time for that.
I'll probably reapply this summer though. $30 is just too cheap to give up the right to buy a gun and have it delivered to my doorstep.
Correct and it's not worth the angst over the few I've found that wouldn't accept it.
