That place is WAY too close to the new Dairy Queen...AND the guy's name is HUNTER ! Perfect for a gun shop!
Check for the funky hours, though...Mon-Wed by appointment only, limited hours otherwise. Interesting!
Obviously not his "day job." I hope it works out for him. It's very hard trying to transition from working for other people to starting your own business.
Gotta think he's not getting a break on the rent for the days his store is dark. Yikes!
Yet you'd need to sell quite a bit of stuff per day just to break even on having an employee there to keep it open. You have to expect to not break even for a while... but strangling your cash flow is dangerous. Hopefully the online sales pay off... literally.
I don't. I'd guess so, since they teach the classes on site. It's worth calling them, though!
'My' range charges sales tax on the transfer fee...same way they charge sales tax on the range fee.
As long as the state doesn't implement some blanket sales tax collecting policy affecting shipments from out of state, I'm good. I know local businesses hate having that 8.25% ball and chain hanging around.

It is my understanding that they have to (or at least they are supposed to) charge sales tax on the transfer fee. I haven't done one in a while but I seem to remember when GT was doing them for $10 a few years ago, they charge me like $10.80 or something. Other places charged a flat $15 or $20, so I assume the tax was built into the quoted fee.
If they're collecting sales tax on the gun, that's probably not legal. The purchaser is responsible for paying use tax to the Comptroller, not the FFL holder who is only serving as a transfer agent, not a seller.

There is no requirement for an FFL to collect sales tax on a transfer. It is neither a sale nor a use and does not fall under the Texas Comptroller's requirements to collect on. FFLs that do collect sales tax on transfers either don't know they don't have to, or are adding the extra into their own pocket.

My one and only transaction at Red's in Pflugerville was also $50.00 in Sept. 2012. Won't make that mistake again.
Translation: Don't do transfers here.
Yep, that stinks... Good news is that Central Texas Gun Works is even cheaper than Old Cannon was
