What a nightmare!
-Found the gun I wanted
-Salesman (who was actually very helpful) begins filling out a bunch of paperwork
-Found out that was just some internal inventory type paperwork, NOT the 4473
-Was directed to the firearms purchase checkout area where my license was inspected by a "hostess" that gave me an ipad
to fill out all of my information and a restaurant style "buzzer" to notify me when my turn was up
-Filled out 4473 info on ipad and gave it back to the hostess and was told that they'd buzz me when they were ready
-25 minutes later, I was buzzed
-Went back to the area and signed the 4473 that was printed from the info I entered in the ipad
-Was then told they'd need another 10 minutes to have the other person, a manager, a janitor, the guy that installed their plumbing, and a boy named Sue verify that everything was correct
45 minutes after saying "I'll take it," I was finally able to leave with my new gun. There were only a few of us in the firearms checkout purgatory, too. It wasn't even crowded. NEVER again with them. I've bought from other big box stores and it was never that much of a pain in the butt. The only reason I bought there was because I had a gift card, otherwise I would've dealt with a smaller store.
