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.
 

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.
