If they can fix it w/o having to scribble or scratch out anything, i.e. putting
6' 2" instead of the correct way 6' 02" I just ask them to put a zero infront of the 2". Without initialling anything...geeze, the kid was a moron, or ill informed, or both.
Thank you sir for your input from a knowledgeable FFL. Thank god i'm 5-10 LOL
Maybe it is academys policy that if you make one mistake on the form they get to deny the sale altogether hell i dont know i dont work there. Just put yourself in that position........you have cash in hand to buy the gun you want and you make one typo on one number on your zipcode.....you have someone who looks like they havent bathed in a week thats probably 18 years old tell you quite rudely at that...."no sir you made a mistake i'm going to have to deny the sale". Well then you say i made a mistake on one number let me fix it then he repeats that he is going to have to deny the sale. I think most anyone would get a little heated. Its not like I stood there and screamed at him I DID NOT do that. I've worked sales i've been there and i hated when people treated me like that.
Now Wal-Mart on the otherhand on an impulse buy i bought a ruger 10/22 there a couple years ago. It literally took an hour to buy it, they do double and triple checks and manager checks of the 4473. And of course the manager walks you out with it too.
