Jeff, you're making a perfect sense, and I totally agree that this dealer I've dealt with would have probably profited more if he would agree to accept the shipment for me from an out-of-stated gun store. But that's what their policy is, no matter how unwise. I didn't ask him for any particular reasons for its existance, but I think that, at least in Memphis, not so many people buy weapons this way (I may be wrong, again). So, this dealer has probably figured, hey, nobody's coming with such requests, I might as well sell my own stock only. As the matter of fact, he told me it was against their policy to even give me a copy of their FFL. The guy, nevertheless, was fair enough to suggest going to a couple of different stores in town who might be able to do a transfer for me. Now, and it's kind of interesting, he also said that an exception to their "no transfer" policy would only be if, say, a friend of mine or a relative wanted to send a gun to me as a gift, then they would accept the shipment. Since that wasn't my case, I didn't even ask how much they would charge me for that.
