my first OC experience and dealings with walmart

[JByer323]

Well after reading this I went to walmart.com to check out the guns.... I have to say I was impressed, there is a lot of cool stuff on the site.... Check out the .17 with HB in SS.....

Walmart.com: Savage 93R17BTVSS .17 HMR Bolt Action Rifle w/ Heavy Barrel & Accutrigger: Hunting

That's one heck of a gun too, IIRC, won a Field and Stream award.

From the above link/page:

"Warning: .......

A firearm may be mistaken for a firearm??? Imagine that... :dumbass:


Oh, if you wanna brand your gun...

you better do it in private!!


:wtf:

I read the back of the form 4473 and it plainly states you CAN abbreviate on the form. I believe Walmart and some other retail chains have trouble with keeping employees. Once they get someone actually familar with the correct way to fill out the form, call NICS and place the appropriate numbers in the required spaces, they move on to bigger and better things. Or get "Let go" due to cut backs. Many gun shops have their own idea of the "correct" way to fill out the form. I personally got "invited" to the Federal Building in Evansville due to paper work. I won't say that I am an expert but I did get an hour long course on rules and regulations. Book keeping stinks but an audit is even worse.
I also know of a circumstance where a fellow was stopped, his hand gun was taken for a serial number trace, and it came up as a "suspicious" firearm. Come to find out, it was a legal purchase and some one messed up the form. He did get his fire arm returned, sued the store where said gun was purchased and won the lawsuit. This instance was no fault of his, the retailer was the one who made the mistake. I would rather take a little time to make sure the form is right than to suffer the circumstances this guy did.

What could he sue the store for that was worth the trouble, transposing a number? Just curous. Let me know who this guy is, I sure don't ever want him as a customer.
