When I had to change the location of a class on short notice, I refunded part of the students' cost to make up for the additional drive. When I realized that I had made a mistake on a CHL-100, I delivered the corrected form to the student.
Bottom line: the party who caused the situation should accommodate the party that helps fix it.

A Business Man!

I have had to go back to a FFL in 2002 and fill out the 4473 because we were so busy talking we both just overlooked it. All he did was make a polite phone call and I was back the same day.

It was not a certified letter telling me to come back, 260 miles round trip, and a no thank you at the end of the transaction. Academy just left a little bit of bad taste in my mouth. It was not enough to keep me away, but it was enough that I may have learned to stick with my Local Gun Dealers and enough to make me ask if I was the only one.

Yes I am too busy. I live over 130 miles away from the Academy I had to drive back to for a CHECK MARK!

Maybe I'm a sap... maybe I just try to live too much of a Christian life....

One of the very reasons I am too busy. I am disabled plus I Pastor a Church and stay very busy helping those to whom I am a servant to.

I am not for sure anything can happen to you. They are responsible for the paper worker.

I did nothing illegal. It ridiculous that a check mark out of place or not checked is so overly important they have send certified letters. If in fact it is that important they need sever people who do nothing, but proof read.

I made the check mark in the middle of the box and initialed it. It wa s a big deal. Waste of my time.

I don't remember the box, but I checked it, but I did not get it all the way through the center of the box.

By the way I barely received a thank you much less my box of .45 ammo. It was the Academy in North Richland Hills.

I am on my way to Academy now. I am asking for a box of .45 for the hassle.

I will try my best to go by tomorrow and I will let everyone know what it was.

I think I should at least get a free box of .45 for going back.

I received a certified letter yesterday from Academy. It said that there was some information left off the form 4473. It had the manager's name and phone number on it.

I called him and he explained that when I purchased a S&W M&P in early 2012 that I did not completely fill out the form. He he asked if I could come to the store in North Richland Hills and complete the form?

I will be going over next week to accommodate him, but isn't it there job to inspect the form thoroughly before I leave the store. After all they are worried about walking me out of the store with a new purchase while at the same time I am concealing two loaded pistols.

Anyone else have this happen to them?
