Too many guns

[r.gray87]

I had a friend tell me that he was denied a firearms purchase at the Gander Mountain in Greenwood because he has "bought too many guns" recently.

I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Is this for real? I did a quick search and found nothing, but I'm sure I could have looked longer.

No, it's not real.

I'd say it's not possible, and that your friend is making it up.

Because who could possibly buy too many guns when shopping at Gander Mountain? A normal person would go bankrupt exclusively getting guns from them!

:P

Incorrect.

 

[Sylvain]

Yep, not such a thing as "too many guns".

I have done multiple gun buys recently with no problems?

One can never have " too many guns...."

It was just an Obama/Pelosi intervention. Obviously your friend has a very bad gun buying addiction. All that money that your friend spent on guns should have went to new taxes to help pay for Obamacare. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

There is a simple an easy cure, your friend must give away all guns, ammo, and any other gun related items. I am willing to rent a Uhaul (if necessary) to come haul away the objects of his sickness.

Your friend's purchase could have been help up for further review and the guy at GM chose to make something up.

There is a thing as to many guns sometimes, I had a visit from the atf, never denied, but they did show up. I had won an auction for 26 pistols, and an AR pistol, that many handguns will get you a visit. Also they will give you a few months to sell them off, I still had all but 4 of them, and they were pretty surprised.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

What is this "too many guns" you speak of, strange one?

 

[threedhuntr]

Some of the more"restrictive" states have limits ...... just handgun i think. Nothing in indiana i know of.

 

[sig-guy]

Too many? No

Might he have bought one a few days earlier?
You have to wait 5 (?) days to purchase another one or fill out more paperwork. Like getting multiple pistols on the same day.

It's in the regulations which I'm not going to look up. To Lazy.

Wrong.

I used to work at Gander Mountain, so here is my guess as to what happened:
Your friend got delayed by NICS.

He asked the clerk why he was delayed.

The clerk probably said, "I don't know. Maybe you have bought too many guns recently."

The clerk then handed him a brochure with the NICS telephone number on it.

Your friend was confused and then tells you he was delayed for buying too many guns.

This last one is my guess. The NICS computer for whatever reason (it happens) kicked his app out and the clerk made up the rest. If he did not hear from NICS in what is it, seven days (?), they could then sell him the gun. But with demand what it is they know they can sell it so why offer any help to the guy.

<<<<<< So he bought one too many guns. I thought it was only your wife that told you that

This sounds most likely. I know he has purchased more than a couple this year, but I wasn't under the impression that there was a restriction on the number.

Thanks for the answers. My wife and my bank account are the only people who should be allowed to tell me when enough is enough. I was curious if it was a store policy or a problem with him.

There is no limit on how frequently you can purchase firearms. Supposedly NICS will delay someone if they start buying a bunch, but that isn't always the case. Sometimes it seems as if people get delays for absolutely no reason.

Give you a few months to sell them off?

I'm not sure I understand. They wanted you to sell them? or they were letting you sell them?

You let BATFE inside your home?

I had the same questions...
