Turner’s Reseda rejects FFL03 & COE for 3 in 30 rule

I go to 2A Zone for everything and have never once DROS'd at Turner's. 2A Zone knows their stuff. Good to know who and where the bad apples are though.
 
I've had lots of difficulties dealing with Turners. I was recently rejected my Turners for a PPT because my passport has a middle initial but my CDL does not. I've done 7 PPTs this year and no FFL has ever given me an issue except Turners.
If this is the letter of the law, I get it, but they didn't have to be so rude and condescending.
 
I thought the Reseda Turners falls under that 1 handgun a month city ordinance. Maybe they are getting confused.... ask them to show you the DES screen where the 3 in 30 drop down still has "C&R with COE"

Would be hard to explain that.
Courts ruled 1 in 30 unconstitutional. Not enforceable
 
Guess its just my luck when I go.

Last transaction I will do at the Walmart for gun stores, even if it’s a killer deal.

Family/Veteran owned all the way!

Last DROS there took about one hour from start of paperwork to finish.
 
Quick question someone might know, if you’re an employee for turners, do you get a Commission for the guns that you sell for the store? If not I don’t understand the attitude that comes from them for PPTs. What difference does it make, paperwork is paperwork. I also try to avoid turners due to them taking over an hour to fill out paperwork on top of wait times. Sometimes sellers insist and well 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Honestly the Sacramento area store seems pretty good. The manager was nice, nobody did anything offensive. They were helpful with ideas on how to get a REAL ID fast. Then they were nice enough to fully refund my card on a gun I left a deposit on despite the signed agreement saying they can keep like 30% of it as a fee if you cancel. So nothing bad to say about Turner's really.

I have had good experiences as well, but those bad experiences stick with people more and some stores are a lot better than other.
 
I’ve never dealt with the Reseda location, but that store’s reputation certainly precedes it. As if people needed another reason not to give them their business… 🤦‍♂️

Yet that store has lines out the door
 
Well that sucks.... To answer your question about statewide, absolutely not... heck we help ISSUE FFL03's and COEs
Excuse me but could you help me with my paperwork? I'm really just interested in being able to buy ammo directly from retailers and it's so expensive. Is there somewhere I can go in person???
 
Most of the big corporations are 💩ty as gun stores. Turner's, Bass Pro, Sportsman's, etc. Stop giving them your business
 
As I read through these types of situations I am amazed that no one has taken the effort to share with the offending FFL the pertinent Penal Code. When I have done this in the past, I have found management to become more agreeable. I carry this with my FFLCOE.

Hereʻs the cite:

27535. (a) A person shall not make an application to purchase one or more firearms that would result in the purchase of more than three firearms cumulatively within any 30-day period. This subdivision does not authorize a person to make an application or applications to purchase a combination of firearms, completed frames or receivers, or firearm precursor parts within the same 30-day period.​


(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any of the following:

(10) Any person who is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto, and has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Justice pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) of Chapter 2.
 
I've had good experiences with the Turner's in Roseville and Salinas this year. I'll stay away from Reseda. ;)
