If I buy a toaster or a TV and it's bad out of the box,,,
I take it back for an immediate exchange or full refund of my money.
I have had the unfortunate experience of buying a handgun,,,
That was bad out of the box.
When I took it back (that day) I was told that they couldn't[/U ]give a refund on a firearm,,,
My only recourse was to send it to the manufacturer for warranty repair.
Now I suspect this couldn't is actually a wouldn't or don't want to thing,,,
The reason I think this way is because after long and vocal discussion,,,
The LGS owner finally took it back and refunded my credit card.
My question is, are there legalities preventing the refund for firearms that I'm not aware of?
One person I know who is a kitchen-table FFL owner said there are complications with the form 4473,,,
But personally I suspect this is more a policy of the LGS owner rather than law.
I do know that my Evil Pawn Shop guy will give me a buy-back guarantee on any used handgun I buy from him,,,
The way he describes it to me is that it's not really a refund per se,,,
But him buying it back in a completely separate transaction.
Can any of you good folk clear this question up for me?,,,
Specifically for a brand new handgun (or rifle) that's bad out of the box.
