A good friend finally got an affidavit for firearm safety and went to shop for first firearm. Sounds good except the lgs charged $150 for PTA, saying “oh, it’s almost impossible to get appointment online but we can get you an appointment for $150!”.   It’s overwhelming for a first-time buyer and not knowing fully the process $150 is not much to pay for inconvenience. But wow!  Money matters but forget about repeat customers and word of mouth.  I would say if lgs tries to sell PTA, stay away!!!

There are some stores that shall not be named that did this.  They will feel the repercussions long term for their actions. A quick gain isn't worth a longtime loss.

Not if we rely on people like you to let us know who those shops are.  You're keeping their secret -- enabling and abetting.

Not everyone here has shopped for firearms at every gun store on every island to learn who the jerks are selling appointments.

If you aren't going to name the store, just stop posting about it.  You're not doing anyone here any favors. 

This is a recurring post of yours.  Why bother?

You just want to participate without contributing.

isnt it illegal to sell City services?

The shop owners aren't city employees.  If they are paying an employee to get the appointments to sell, then that's a crime.

I've been suspecting someone on the inside is scarfing up appointments for profit, similar to the Ala Wai Golf Course tee times.

Not unprecedented.

LGS is the abbreviation for a generic term:

Local Gun Store (or Shop)

I can tell you that I know 1st hand that 2 of the LGS on your list are charging people for the PTA. I know because one tried to charge me and the other was to another customer. And neither were X-Ring. I won't shop there because of their entire business model.

Ahh, didn’t know that thanks

Yeah, Xring is pretty expensive, I usually go there because they’re closer than kokohead and I have friends that drag me with them

Sometimes they got cool stuff for sale, bought a VePR from them long time ago

But unless I’m goin with friends, I don’t usually go alone

I think this is x-rings entire business model, being closer than kokohead/kalihi/town for west side folks.  Everything else they have failed miserably.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I didn't realize neurological diseases are contracted just by Googling them!
