Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[drfuzzy]

I bought one about a year ago - I just walked into the store, and handed over the credit card.  They didn't even ask to see my drivers' license.  

Did you report them? Any licensed dealer -- and all retail sellers are federally licensed -- must see your ID, have you complete a 4473, and he must also initiate a NICS check:  http://smartgunlaws.org/federal-law-on-b...nd-checks/

Your purchase was clearly handled in an illegal manner. Did you report it? Will you be doing so?

I almost sent this in a PM, Thump, but then I thought that the other posters in this thread would find it interesting.  
I finally had a meeting with the store manager today.  I took in all my paperwork and the gun.  He was very glad to see me.  He had been wondering what happened to me, because he knew the transfer should have taken place, but all of the paperwork was "lost".  To make a long story short, the store clerk who dealt with me realized that there was one area of store counter space that was not covered by the surveillance cameras.  He tried to run a few scams, was told to conduct all business at the register, messed up, and was eventually caught and fired.  He was so pleased to get all of the paperwork updated for my FFL that he gave me a free box of Federal American Eagle 9mm ammo.    The transfer is now legal.  Thanks for the heads up!
