Sounds like J & B doesn't want to evolve their business. I wonder what happens to businesses who don't continue to innovate and evolve?I believe there will continue to be a market for transfer services after Dec 8th. This response from J&B Firearms reinforces that belief.
"......Even if we do get some good news we could not start accpeting new transfers until other local FFLs did as well or we would be receiving way too many to keep up with......"
We are entering uncharted territory and FFL shops that want to survive are going to have to adapt, if they want to continue serving their customers.Sounds like J & B doesn't want to evolve their business. I wonder what happens to businesses who don't continue to innovate and evolve?
Not too often where you hear of a business who doesn't want more customers, money and profit.
I completely agree.. improvise, adapt and overcome. Or as i like to say, lead, follow or get out of the way. I have come a long way in this business and i dont intend on stopping now. Oddly i was offering free safety classes with firearms purchase and ironically seems thats going to have to be the way ( hopefully not) but i do intend on getting whatever certs i need to be able to be a one stop shop for my customers.We are entering uncharted territory and FFL shops that want to survive are going to have to adapt, if they want to continue serving their customers.
Absolutely! Ive even been playing with gauss guns. Plus my factory cetakote training is coming up to be a certified applicator, even though i have done it and automotive finishes for years its still nice to be certified. (I do some cool color shift stuff) but certainly willing to do anything within the industry!They are going to have to concentrate on ammo, reloading components, accessories, optics, outfitting, upgrades, and Gunsmithing/custom projects. Expanding into black powder shooting and recharged pneumatic airguns is always an option.
There will be a large number of people who will never accept this as the norm and won't play ball, like a large percentage of WA folks who won't play the 1639 game. Those new gun sales are lost for good notwithstanding the huge black market they are enticing.
Before I knew better, I got an IL FOID card... did I object, heck yes; did it stop me... no; I left that damn state with a lot of very nice guns.
Unless they've reached max capacity. Sort of like a "widget" factory -- if you're making as many as you can and don't have capacity to make any more (and/or find and train employees quick enough), then you have to turn potential buyers awaySounds like J & B doesn't want to evolve their business.

If the FFL can't figure it out someone else will. This sucks for all of us but FFL's are going to have a very rough time.Unless they've reached max capacity.

Your name won't be on it. Oregon Rifleworks was the recipient.I ordered from Staccato before all of this went down. Of course they shipped it last week to Oregon Rifleworks who refused the package. Now UPS is holding my gun… anyone have advice what to do in this situation?
Are there any FFLs I can reroute it to? Should I just hope it gets returned to Staccato and they can ship it again if everything shakes out? Or can I pick up the package from UPS if my name is on it and then go do the background check at a later date?
