I think I should at least get a free box of .45 for going back.

I wonder what would happen if you declined to go back to the store maybe they should send someone to your house on their dime instead on inconveniencing you.

Then the BATFE would come rolling down your street in a military type vehicle with agents in full SWAT gear hanging off of each side of the vehicle and a couple on the back. Then kick your door down and round up all family members and hold them in handcuffs, all while pointing a gun at you forcing you to complete the paperwork.

However, when I was stationed in California, a sporting goods store where I had purchased a Remington Model 870 called and told me I would have to return the shotgun to them because of a paperwork issue. In California, you have to be a resident of the state to purchase any firearm there...I had a Texas DL. They made copies of my military ID, Texas DL, and documents to prove that I was living in and stationed in California, which is in accordance with California law. I had purchased other firearms through other FFLs in California and never had a problem. Turns out that one of the California State forms was filled out incorrectly (by THEM). And that made the whole transaction null and void. They wanted me to bring it back, but I made them come to my house and get the thing as it was an hour drive to the store where I bought it. They refunded my money and gave me a $25 gift card. They said they actually changed company policy because of what happened to me (by policy I took it to mean how they train their employees) so that any other military folks wouldn't have problems. They were very apologetic and all, but it sure was annoying to the nth degree.

In my case, one of my "no" check marks missed the box. While the intent was clear I didn't literally check the box. I went in and fixed it. Took less than 5 minutes and I did it when I was driving by so I didn't go out of my way. No big deal and not really worth trying to blackmail them into giving you free stuff. Should it have been caught at time of sale? Yes. Mistakes happen.

I figure they must have caught some grief from the storm troopers at some point. I kid you not, they made me spell out Junior at the end of my name instead of allowing me to put the normally considered appropriate Jr. Then they made me write Texas in the state box instead of Tx. There is not enough room for all this in the box and they insisted I make it all fit in the box. It was getting to a point of silly before I was done. I am not the only one to suffer their wrath either. I have several friends who were put through all kinds of hoops filling out that form at bullet trap. Like I said, I bet they have been roasted a time or two.
