I just got back for a small pawn shop in Cobb county. I picked up a used Ruger and presented my Driver's License and GFL. The owner offered me a cash discount so I went over to the bank and picked up some funds and when I returned I was told that they just had to run a background check.
I told them it wasn't necessary because ATF had approved the GFL as a substitute again. They told me they just got off the phone with ATF and my GFL was not going to be accepted. The problem is apparently that my GFL is nearly 5 years old and I have moved (several times) since it was issued. Since the address on my Driver's license and my GFL didn't match it was not valid any more as a NICS substitute.
I ended up waiting the five minutes for the instant check and leaving. I won't post the name of the shop because they did not honor the price we agreed on when i went to the bank. (They said that the price they quoted me didn't include tax, except for the fact before I left to get the money they said it would be $XX out the door :roll: ). I'm not going to slander their store here, it's not necessary, so I won't give out the name.
I asked them who they talked to at ATF and who said my GFL was no good and they gave me the name of the agent who told them that. Just wondering what you guys thought. I bet Malum will get pretty intrigued by all this. :twisted:
