Cash America Pawn - Gun Sales

[patience0830]

Indiana pawn shops are not allowed to accept or sell firearms

They can buy and sell if they are an FFL. Just can't pawn them IIRC. My memory may be outdated.

I see hardhit is making his presence felt in another thread with almost the same result as the last one of his I read.

Maybe he can go into the pawn shops and tell them what BS it is that he can't buy a firearm there too.

Thats not what the guy said. He said they cant allow someone to panw(for cash loan) a handgun. He DID NOT say the pawnshops cannot outright buy a handgun from a "customer".

Pawned or sold whatever. I've pawned a gun in an indiana pawn shop before.

Nevermind that was nevada way back. But im pretty sure he said their not allowed to sell firearms.

I won't mention any names but the prices I encountered at one of Indy's finest pawn shops, for some very well used pistols would make Don's look like the bargain basement.

Dock Bros. in Indy???

Wow...haven't heard that name in ages. Time was, in the 70's, Mr. Morty Dock was THE pawn broker in Indianapolis. Alleged to be the "go to" guy for crooked cops, crooked politicians, and skeevy newspaper reporters when they needed that certain special item.

If you had the money, allegedly Morty could get it.

My memory is a bit rusty here, but I believe Morty Dock met with an untimely ending...

From a NY Times article dated April 4, 1986 -

"A tourist from Long Island who was shot to death during a holdup Jan. 2 was apparently slain by a fugitive from Federal racketeering charges in Indianapolis, the police said today. The authorities said the suspect, Morton L. Dock, committed suicide March 26, minutes after he had shot and killed a jewelry store owner in the shopping arcade of a luxury hotel. Mr. Dock, 50 years old, had been sought by Federal authorities in Indianapolis on charges of having cheated investors in a diamond-buying scheme. Federal authorities said they arrested his wife, Helen Dock, 38, on two charges of income-tax fraud when she went to a morgue to identify her husband and claim the body."

Yeah...Dock Brothers has some history...from the bad old days.

My last firearm purchase was from a Pawn Shop in Goshen, IN. They did not have a bunch. only 4 or 6 long rifles.

I believe Fort Wayne has a city ordance not allowing Pawn Shops to sell firearms, not positive about that but have never seen a gun for sale at Cash America in Ft. Wayne, IN.

Cash America in FT Wayne on Clinton deals with long guns but won't touch handguns.

I haven't read the entire thread and am ignorant of any and all facts but Cash America in Clarksville has handguns and long guns.

Any particular reason? I go in there semi-regularly, and they're not horrible. The guy usually manning the gun counter isn't really a gun guy, but he can fetch the guy who is.
They're also an 01 FFL and sell new guns via Davidsons, and are listed on GunGenie, and once or twice I've found their price on a new gun lower than my favorite LGS, and that's hard to beat...

There's is a state law somewhere that states it is illegal to use a handgun as collateral for a loan (i.e. pawn), I don't know the code offhand, but I have seen it posted on here before in it's entirety, along with a link I believe...

Von's in Columbus, Columbus pawn, and I think cash America in Clarksville also sell guns, they just have to have an FFL to do it legally.

Right, Pawnbrokers can have an 01 FFL (general dealer, no DD's) or an 02 FFL (operating as a pawnbroker) as far as I know.

Would you buy a pawn gun sight unseen in an auction? Seems like kind of a gamble to me. Maybe I am making too big of an assumption, but people who know guns and take care of their guns would probably be more likely to sell to a local gun shop or individually then pawn it. If you can see it and verify its in good condition, that's one thing, but online that's not an option.

 

[easy]

I've bought a few with just the info posted on their auction. No problems.
