Hey all,
I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so sorry for the repetition.
I purchased a Kimber Micro 9 ESV on line. I know the Kimber Micro 9 is an approved gun, so I wasn't worried. But the ESV is brand new, and not on the list.
The differences are purely cosmetic, and I just hadn't realized how the law works. I didn't realize that simple color changes and such required separate approvals. So the gun is sitting at the shop, and I've been told that if I petition to have the gun approved and the state says no, they confiscate the weapon. Is that accurate?
So far, every version of the Micro 9 has been approved, and I'm confident that the ESV will be too. But when is the question, and the shop isn't willing to hold it forever.
I can send it back to the original dealer, but then I'm out quite a chunk of change with nothing to show for it but an expensive lesson. Any suggestions? Any way to find out if the ESV is pending approval? Any other options?
Thanks for any advice, folks. And, again, sorry if this is a repeat question.
