My 2nd all time favorite conversation at the counter.

Buyer: You need to fix my gun. I got it here last week and it is broke.

Shop: Well you actually bought this on Gunbroker, and we just did the transfer.

Buyer: But since I picked it up from you, you are responsible for fixing the problem. :sad20:

My number 1 is having a customer coming to pick up a transfer from a online seller. Tell us that the gun is not what he ordered and demand that we totally refund his money. :lol2:

This is why - if you're a Maryland resident who likes guns - you develop a long standing relationship with your LGS, rather than always trying to save a couple of pizza's worth of money when buying a $1000+ gun. Because they'll properly block the factory mags for you, send you happily on your way, and you both know there will be more business later. Yeah, and then you go to VA or PA and buy a couple hundred worth of additional mags for that new CZ, or have a mail order house ship them to a friendly out of state address so you can legally take possession of them. None of this hassle is EVER worth that slightly better perceived deal from some out of state source and then the FFL dance.

THIS.

My first pistol purchase in MD gives me a great learning experience about the gun law here.. Not to mention the ridiculous bore lock law... Lol so are you saying that your FFL did the mag block that can be reversed to the full capacity?

He is not saying that because it would be contrary to the law. It cannot be readily convertible.

What happens in magazine (and bore lock) club stays in the club, and is not discussed on the internet.

I keep trying to reply to this, but certain keys on my keyboard keep not working. Oh well. I'll take my keyboard to the next Magazine Club meeting and see if anyone can fix it.

The best place to try and convert a blocked 10 magazine to standard capacity is in front of a MSP Trooper. Preferably on video so others can learn...

It's pretty much a done deal at this point. Not worth my time.

Stealing isn't a crime according to the legal experts.

I hear all of these but the bolded one is my all time favorite. It seems like when their gun shows "out for delivery" they will sit at the gas station down the road until it shows "delivered" then they come straight here.

It's FFL bingo. Get any of the above in five consecutive transfers to get a bingo. If you win you get to go do paperwork in the back office with your ear protection on for the rest of the day.

I have not done that...much, lol.

I know its a pain, but c'mon. When you have a present under the proverbial christmas tree aren't you eager to open it... now?

Sad reality

Another FACT, in Maryland.

danb said:
They can sell it to law enforcement or an out of state buyer, yes.

However, the buyer of the pistol cannot dictate where its shipped out of state, per the MSP.

Yes, they can.

Give that man a prize.

Well, I would not go that far, but I would say "unreasonable"...at times.

In clear violation of the Fight Club rules...

We have had "direct experience" with MSP on this.

No selling, arranging the sale of, redirecting the delivery of 10+ mags to persons not exempted from the law, period.

Modification means that it MUST be modified in such a way that it would destroy the magazine to un-do said modification.

Time is money, and mag mods are time consuming. Just write the loss off as the cost of doing business in MD and don't shoot the messengers (Dealers) for just trying to navigate the insane waters that are MD gun law.

I guess they don't realize their gun most likely isn't the only thing coming in and there's actual work you have to do prior to them being notified to come to do paperwork. Tracking should only be used to know that the gun has arrived and isn't stuck in shipping limbo somewhere.

I always wished Gearfire would provide shipping information so I know when an online order has left the warehouse and might be to the FFL, I see now why it's probably for the best they don't.
