I had a store tell me that they aren’t giving out transfer numbers for restricted purchases (Aug 5th). Then I emailed to confirm that one had even been issued and haven’t heard back. They’re one of the bigger stores and I received the previous handgun I ordered from them, but just felt like it was a little weird that they weren’t giving out the transfer numbers.

Anyone else have that happen?

That seems a little weird to me. I’m a newbie to this and only recently bought my first handgun, but the store printed the transaction number right on my receipt and told me what it was. From a legal perspective, I might try telling them that submitting the transfer for you is part of your contract of purchase and, since they haven’t actually given you your purchase, you’re entitled to evidence that they are actually following through on their obligation under your contract of purchase (i.e., a transfer number), especially since I have seen a few posts on here mentioning that there have been delays in the store even submitting the transfer. You might find some way of wording that argument that comes off as reasonable so they see that you’re right and don’t get their blinders on because you’re being a prick.
