Maybe I am missing something from all the postings to this very interesting thread. Where are the comments about possible similar experiences in gun dealings; good, bad, indifferent- about Cabela's competition? Specifically Gander Mountain and Scheels as "Big Box" dealers.
I can understand Cabela's caution about the question of a possible "antigue" long gun being sold inter-state and the need for a FFL "paper trail" to give them and their "Top Dawgs" a CYA position. But when it comes to inter-state anything, does that not them become Federal in nature and scope? If that is so, would not the Federal laws and statutes subrogate those of any one, or in some cases, several States laws and statutes?
I advised my friend NOT to contact the BATF, anymore than I would advise him NOT to contact the: IRS, FBI, INS, DEA or any other agency- recalling to mind one of the three biggest lies extant, to wit: "I'm from the Federal Government and I am really here to help!"" Case closed!!!
Cabela's-- what about Scheels and Gander Mt.?
