I just went into the shop where I buy my supplies and do my transfers. When I asked for an FFL and they said they raised their price for transfer from $20 to $30.
I know this is their right and don't have a problem with that because I can also choose to go elsewhere. The problem I have is that I was told at the time is that all the local shops got together and came up with this new pricing so I will have to travel a ways to find a new hole or deal with the markup.
I know that if they are losing business from me buying new firearms and they didn't get a shot at the business they should be upset. But if it is a used firearm or a price they couldn't compete with why the increase?
I know they have to keep the records around and store the weapons until picked up, but the fact that "they can't stay in business if you buy elsewhere" on something they didn't have for me to purchase in the first place goes beyond my powers of understanding. :banghead:
I do not want to see any good shop go out of business but I probably won't go back.
