Buying question........The ATF is cracking down on making sure dealers who sell a longgun to someone out of state follow the law for the state where the person resides. They gave us a book as big as the Chicago phone book and said "look it up". It is VERY time consuming to try that and the legalese requires a lawyer to interpret. Also, in the next breath the agent stated most of what was printed in that book was out of date.

Example....... Here in our store (AL) we decided to only sell to contiguous states, FL, GA, MS. But NOT Tennessee. Why?? Because TN state law requires a seperate background check to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at the time of sale. They charge a fee for it. We don't have access to it and are not going to jump through hoops any higher than the ones ATF has set up!!

Bass Pro Shops..........is NOT a discount store. They are full retail and then some. How else could they pay for all the dead animals they had to use to decorate the store? One opened up near here last year. All our regular customers asked if it hurt our business any. Answer was no, after looking at the prices there, they would come here to buy. BPS is GOOD for business!
We sold every gunsafe in inventory the first week they were open. Safes we had for $1100 were $1500 at BPS.
