    Default Fees when purchasing a new gun?

    Do you guys expect to pay a fee when you purchase a new gun?

    Last few times I purchased a new gun from a shop I don't think I was charged any background check fees but this time to my surprise I was charged a PIC fee. I already accepted that I'd be paying for instant gratification and fondling the pistol before I buy but I would think the background check should be part of the already marked-up price...

    Full disclosure the fee was only $5 on a gun that was $1250 but I could have payed $1100 for it online with shipping and $25 for the transfer.

    When I said something about it the guy said "well yeah the checks aren't free".

    What are your thoughts?

    BTW the CZ Shadow 2 is an amazing pistol and I can't wait to shoot it again.
