Gun Stores charging extra fee for PPT.

Ultimate Gun Shop in Montebello just charged my friend $37.19 for DROS and $75 for a dealer transfer fee. It was a face-to-face PPT...They charge me too
I got recently charged too by Ultimate Gun shop $47.19 Dros plus extra $75 and 4.99 Lock. I was going to walk away but my seller came from far and it was a holiday and they are the only ones open around the area. Good thing I kept the receipt. I see that you can report to DOJ

Someone should quote the law to these FFLs charging outlandish fees for PPT.

They don't care. DoJ is so backed up, these types of cases is at the electives.

The best way to deal with these stores is out them and talk 💩 about them in any threads they are mentioned in.

Of course. Boycott them. It's good that they're being outed.
 

AA TACTICAL CHINO HILLS next to 71 freeway charge $50 as service fee on top of everything. I went there because the buyer choice. Chinese owner as the worker told me, it feels like a store front for laundry the $ they corrupt in China.​

Chinese stores cater to Chinese customers. Aeon Tac in GG, got a B&T APC9 for a no English speaking Chinese customer. When I asked if I could order one, I was scuffed at and ignored. Since then, I felt Chinese owned stores a bit 👨🏻‍🎨t in a sense.

There is even an ad here on caguns that is in all Chinese. Chinese wants/likes to cater to Chinese.
