    Default Transfers at Tommy Gun ... Slow AF.

    This is the second transfer I'm having done at Tommy Gun. I ordered something from PSA which arrived on Tuesday. Stopped by yesterday (Thursday) and Bob says they still haven't found it, even though UPS has a signed record of receipt. Called them again today, and got the same damn story. The first transfer I had done through Tommy was kind of similar, although it only took them 2 days the last time to get their shit together. I know the ATF states that an FFL has 7 calendar days to record the disposition of a firearm received in their books. While it hasn't been the 7th day yet, I've never dealt with an FFL that took this long to sort through their packages to find a gun someone is using them to do a transfer for.

    Am I being unrealistic here by complaining after having to wait 3, 4, maybe 5 days to complete a transfer? It's taken them longer to sort this out than it took for PSA to ship the rifle from SC to PA. I feel almost as if Tommy is infringing on my 2A rights by impeding me from collecting a firearm I paid for...

    They're either backed up, lazy, or don't give a fok.

    My FFL calls me the day it comes in and let's me know it's there. Called me yesterday and said, "Come over whenever and today we're open late". I love it when a plan comes together!

    Also, no masks, you can smoke, and bring your dog.

    Well, it's the last time I use Tommy Gun for a transfer... that's for sure. Easiest 25 bucks they could have gotten on a repeat basis.

    PSA treats dealers like shit so alot of them care less about transfering stuff for them, Buds and other places.

    Tommy Guns needs new sales staff period. I had my problems with them also, nothing outrageous. They’re lazy and have a I don’t care attitude.

    Well I finally got my rifle today. Drove there this morning and told Ben to go find it and not come back until he's got the box in his hands. I told him that unless it was located, I'd have to file a report with PSP especially if Tommy Gun exceeds the maximum 7 day limit to record a firearm's disposition in their bound book (today was day 5; Monday would have been the 7th and they're closed Mondays).

    So while he went to the dock to look for it, I noticed a box with UPS sticker sitting right by the front door counter. Took a look at and realized that it was my tracking number.

    Anyway, Bob comes over and tells me that they've been so backed up that it's probably a good idea to not use them for any further transfers until stuff calms down. I didn't disagree with him.

    Sounds like an attitude to me.

    It's not really a big deal. They don't give a shit. It's obviously more of a hassle for them to log your shit in then out. It's really pretty simple....go elsewhere. Never go back there for anything.
