While waiting for my C&R, one quick question. Do local dealers typically accept a C&R license, or do you still have to (by law or by dealer's choice) have to do a regular over-the-counter sale?
The only thing a C&R has done for me when presented to a local dealer is bypass the background check. Here in Texas, that saves me a whopping 10 minutes.
From my 1 experience (which was at a gun show), the dealer didn't accept my C&R FFL but he ate the fee for the background check that HE wanted to do anyway. I'd probably do the same thing if I were in his place.
I have to ask why? You presented a C & R License in your name, and had your ID showing the same address as the license showed? So, unless he didn't know anything about firearms licenses, he'd know you went through a background check to get the license. It's about the same as the states that allow concealed carry license holders to by-pass a background check.
Would he require a background check from a fellow Class 1 FFL holder? I doubt it very much.
