I was in the Cabelas that is right on I-70 over Thanksgiving. If you've never been in that area, the store is located on the little 11 mile wide sliver of WV that is wedged between Ohio and Pennsylvania. So I'd guess that 75% of their business is to residents of those two states.
But they seemed to have it down. They must have FFLs in both states real close that they work with. Most customers were buying the guns and sealing them in Fedex boxes at the counter with the Salesperson. I'm assuming they buy one day and pick up across the border in their home state the next day.
Here's my question, do they have to fill out 4473's twice? Or just once on the receiving end? Would Cabelas ship it without knowing if they were legal?
Still the extra cost of the transfer fee and the shipping have to add $50 to every gun.
