Cash America Pawn - Gun Sales

[DoggyDaddy]

I just happened to be looking at Cash America's website, and apparently they have an online auction kinda system. It may be limited only to specific stores though, as far as delivery goes, but I haven't gotten that far yet. It's just not something I would have expected, since I've never seen guns in their stores here in Indy.

Looked at one of the auctions. It says they will only ship to FFL even if you are local...

I find that out recently myself, the reason is every gun any shop takes in on pawn goes to that web site.

I wonder if they consolidate under one FFL for financial reasons or if they just make more money like that or what.

Yeah, I figured that out after a little more reading. Guess it really boils down to having another couple of auction sites available.

They must be all breaking the law because every pawn shop in Indiana has them that I have been in.

I don't know were you came up with this info but They are if they have a FFL there are many pawn shops in Indiana that have guns

This is not even close to true. MOST have stopped taking handguns, just because of paperwork involved, but not all. I see guns all the time at pawn shops.

...and I have 7 illegal guns. I assure you, it is completely legal. I, for one, am glad. I was able to turn about $300.00 worth of misc stuff laying around the house into a firearm purchase with only $125.00 out of pocket. God bless 'em.

May be some confusion regarding not being allowed to secure a loan with a handgun?

IC 35-47-4-2
Indiana Code 35-47-4

That must be from that shadow law book that also contains passages such as:

It is illegal to open carry in Indiana

Suppressors are illegal

Automatic weapons are only legal for Police and Military

The Lifetime LTCH is going away

And other such gems bandied about at gun shops all over the state

This.
As a former pawn shop manager I can tell you that you can't do a loan on a handgun, only long guns. They can buy and sell handguns like any other FFL holder. Because of that they usually have way more long guns.

 

[cesna250]

They all must be selling illegally then

Wow, the shop that I bought a gun probably is in a heap of trouble if you are correct. They had a couple full display cases with guns in them.

Something tells me you are wrong. Very wrong.

Dock Bros. in Indy???

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.

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".

I don't know if it is legal for pawn shops in IN to loan against a handgun - only time I have ever went into one it was to look and or buy something. I read the statute it does state a "person" cannot loan against one, may be exceptions for Pawns. I do know it is allowed by a Pawnshop FFL (class -02) license. I also know I just bought a Turkish Mauser rifle a couple weeks ago at a Lafayette pawn. I did look at the auction site, prices look pretty high and it appears this pawn shop doesn't want to ship to C&R FFL licenses. Did a search for C&R under the name and nothing listed - but they show several C&R guns under the regular list.
