I am going to make this it's own thread. The more I think about this, the more angry get. The angrier I get, the more I want people to know.
I bought a can from them through Silencer Shop last October. I got a call Tuesday (actually, I got it on the 30th, but it got lost in all the political callers leaving me annoying messages) that the stamp was in and I could just go get it.
It's a 30 minute drive over there. When I get there, the guy behind the counter asks me to fill out a 4473 so he can transfer me the can. I did despite wondering why I would need to after the ATF background check. The background check was delayed. I left without the can.
I posted this in another thread and was told that a background check is not required when picking up a can because the ATF already did it. I looked and, sure enough, form 4473 box 20 clearly states such.
I called Copper Custom to inquire about this. I was told that it is store policy to do another background check before letting an NFA item out the door. The reasoning was there was a time between when the NFA check was done and when the person comes to pick it up that the person could have committed a felony and be out on bond. That is their exact words.
So, I'm stuck waiting for a background to clear that wasn't needed to begin with, so I can waste another hour driving over there to get my can.
I think my biggest gripe of all is that the place is related to MAC (the guy owns or co-owns the store), who is all about preaching anti-NFA rhetoric... but when you go to his store to purchase something, you get extra background checks.
