Default Dunham Sports?

Ok first off long time reader first time poster. I just have to share a story of a rifle purchase i was trying to make a dunhams sports in harrisburg on union depost rd. So a little background on myself, im a 20 year old college student and a avid hunter etc. I bought 2 rifles so far in PA both at gander mtn in harrisburg. I have recently been in the market for something cheap to take to the range and shoot, so was introduced the hi point 995 9mm carbine. So i hear that dunhams sports sells these guns, long story short i go in and they have the .40sw but not the 9mm version, so they said they will order it for me, not a problem kool. Durring the ordering process i was talking with the store manager who was ordering this for me and i explained that, I live here in PA, but my registered address is in Maryland and i have a vaild maryland license. So 3 weeks go by and i get a call that the gun is in and i can pick it up anytime. I go over there today 11-8, to pick it up and start to fill out the usual form for purchasing a firearm. I get about half way down the form and I pull my Maryland license out and the store manager immediately take the form from me and tells me that he cannot sell me this gun because i have a Maryland license. He said it was store policy to not sell a gun to anyone not from PA, i then asked to see this store policy in writing as it was not posted anywhere and even the manager could not provide the documentation of this. Im confused at this point, so i asked if they could transfer the gun to FFL in Maryland, which I shouldn't have to do in the first place because Ive bought guns before in PA and they went through the check and were fine, and the same would of happened with this one also. He explain sthat they cannot xfer the gun to a FFl or to a Dunhams soter in maryland for me to pick up. This is IMHO is a bogus policy and im trying to get ahold of their corperate office to get some kind of documentation or clarification on this so called policy.

So i have some questions for you guys here.
1. Can they refuse to sell to me even though I meet all the requirements that every other buyer is subject to.

2. If anyone is firmilar with this gun (hi point 995 carbine) dose anyone know of any local shops around here (harrisburg area) that sell this, so I may inquire about purchase from them, b/c dunhams will not get any more of my money.

Sorry im a little mad after we went through all this to order the gun knowing I had a MD license and now its against policy to sell it once it arrived.

Any suggestions?
