Here's the final outcome,,,
The last thing I want is any kind of trouble with the BATF,,,
I hoonlestly don't know what could happen to me,,,
But I prefer to err on the side of caution.
I asked my supervisor for the afternoon off,,,
I have plenty of annual leave so it was no problem.
I drove to the OK City store (65 miles) with the rifle.
I have to say that when I got there the people were very professional,,,
They showed me the error on the "electronic" 4473 I filled out.
It wasn't at all the error that the person who called told me.
I go by Aarond H. Graham with a middle initial only,,,
The new 4473 forms require an "IO" (initial only) to be behind the initial,,,
I typed "NMN" (no middle name) in that field like I have done over 60 times before.
Cabela's under-manager admitted that
they should have caught that glitch at the time of sale.
So everyone was friendly and courteous,,,
But they offered nothing for my time and trouble.
I asked to speak with the main manager but they told me he wasn't on site,,,
But the under manager was receptive to my suggestion that a gift card was in order.
They offered me a $25.00 card so I put my best cooperative face on,,,
I told them that wouldn't cover my gasoline for the round trip.
I honestly thought a $100.00 card would be more appropriate,,,
I make over $25.00/hour and took 5.5 hours leave to comply with their request.
We spoke calmly for a short while,,,
I walked out with a $50.00 gift certificate.
So all's well that ends well,,,
It was a hassle for certain but nothing life-altering.
