Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

Talked to a guy at H&F about sending firearms between stores as a service to there customers. They now need a copy of the 43a form before they can send, are worried about their liabilities and have been advised this is probably the best way to do it. Some of their stores didn't want to offer the service at all. I think they charge $50 for the service. Prob I had was I purchased a rifle from a guy where we both knew we a legit FAL holders and didn't need a police form, therefore their service couldn't be used. I think they need to look again a their policy and build their business on offering a useful service to their customers. Just my thoughts

Maca,
I don't think that any transfer of A cat firearms between dealers or from importers/agents requires any police documentation unless the sneaky sods have slipped some more inconvenient red tape under the door while we weren't looking????

I have often helped customers by couriering firearms to other stores ( including GC in Chr.Ch) for someone to uplift. The info goes into both shop's firearm registers so that the movement is traceable. $50!!!!!! Jeez that's a bit steep!!!!
