No, the dealer is an idiot. An idiot invents laws or regulations that don't exist. I would bet the OP would get a blank stare if he asked that dealer to explain why it "complicates" the original 4473.SevensThis really isn't necessary and may not be accurate.Quote:

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't enjoy arguing, but I do dislike it when I see someone invent laws or regulations that don't exist. You are welcome to view it differently.And I say this knowing well ahead how much you enjoy arguing about FFL stuff.
OP didn't use the term "HASSLE"..........but stated the "kitchen-table FFL owner said there are complications with the form 4473"..........returning a firearm days afterward DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the original 4473.Frankly, if the dealer gives Aarond a different handgun right then and there because his original purchase is defective, this could easily be construed as a genuine 4473 "HASSLE" simply because he's going to have to fill another one out.
Individual stores handle things differently.But when I bought a hot water heater form Lowes,,,
It leaked the moment I turned the water supply back on,,,
One phone call and Lowes exchanged it for a new unit that very day.
I worked at Bass Pro for a few years, the policy was that we would take back a gun if purchased within 30 days and that the gun had not been fired. Once the gun was fired it became a used gun and couldn't be resold as new.
Well, I do have to cross out the line with the old gun and add in the new one. That's, like, 10 seconds of my time, man.returning a firearm days afterward DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the original 4473.
For the record, we're also pretty good at telling whether a gun has been fired, no matter how well the claimant may have cleaned it.
Yep, and if it is, we'll work with the customer. It's the folks who try to sneak a used gun past us as new because of buyer's remorse. We shouldn't have to absorb that loss.Got to shoot it to know its defective. Better to tell the LGS that it has been shot and this is what it does and doesn't do.
Question I'll pose, if you do not fire the gun how do you know its defective?
I'll ask again, what was wrong with the gun you returned?
