I ordered a pistol from RKguns on Black Friday sale. Paid online, ship to store. Have purchased several firearms (elsewhere) over the years and had renewed carry permit within the past 12 months. Background check denied purchase. RK charged $65 restocking fee for an item that never left their sales counter.
Does anyone think RK stands a snowball's chance in Hades of making a sale of an RK74 and/or something smaller with a backhoe? Nope. I'll pay Kubota or John Deere prices first. That $65 being a good lesson in who RK is. Meanwhile neighbor is mowing my 200 acres, and trees that fall in my 300 acres just lay there for lack of a means to pull them out.
Took 3 months to clear things up with the FBI. None too happy with them because any reasonable person could determine multiple ways other than fingerprints that I was not the felon in their database. I have held a current Alabama driver's license since 1975. The felon was 1500 miles away. I held a DoD CAC and worked for defense contractor routinely visiting DoD sites during the felon's imprisonment. DoD had my fingerprints at least 30 years and 10 years prior. Clear case of anti-gun activists looking to find any excuse to issue a denial. Same first name, same last, same DOB but different place (why wasn't that enough?) But the FBI computer didn't have his middle name. So I got rejected.
