For those that have purchased a handgun from a store that sells handguns, please stop calling /posting about your 100+ calls to your CFO.. You're only taking up time of CFO's and it just looks weird asf... There has been a massive surge in sales due to the incoming ban.. years worth of handguns sold within weeks. Just relax, quit acting like an unhinged moron. Leave the phone lines open for those that are doing private sales of handguns.

This.

2 years ago stores sent transfer reference numbers and you could easily check.

Currently the stores aren't sending reference numbers and the CFO phone lines are impossible to get through.

I left a message trying to get an ATT and was told I would receive a call back that day. It has been a week with no call back. Luckily my buyer was able to get a ATT sent to me from his CFO.

I got a reference number for my last two restricted firearms, latest one being a month ago from Tenda.

Interesting. I kinda feel like Tenda had a automated system.
