Kesserling's loosing FFL!

[h2ofowlr]

It seem's the BATF is pulling Kesserling's firearms license by Oct.  You may get some deals coming up.  Additional details are on there Facebook page.  I hate to see another gun shop disappear from the area.  You need a few to keep the other shops competitive.

Any rumors as to why?

unreal!  they sold the most amount of guns in the area by far... I won't be surprised if it was because of paperwork errors or some other technicality.

Rumor is to many MIA guns and paperwork.  Their probably are other reasons that others may be able to verify.  Still unfortunate.  This may be why they cabled all the guns, numbered them etc.  I think they were trying to meet all the requirements, but in the end the BATF is not for gun shops with all the hoops one has to jump through these days.

I hope they can get this figured out. Many people I know have been lifelong customers, myself included.

  dang that's not the only business I heard of getting shut down in the area

[h2ofowlr]

They may have to change names, management and apply for a new FFL under a new name and wait the waiting period.  All firearms would have to be removed in the time being.  If and only if they are approved again.  Who knows!  Maybe a fight that some don't want to be involved in, but again I don't have all the details.

That sucks! I've bought most of my firearms from them. 

[Maligator]

Well that really SUCKS!!

I have probably spent 2k in that store, and like stated before when they shut down the remaining few will probably jack there prices.  Looks like my purchases will be almost solely on line these upcoming months.

I'm not sad to see them go with their poor customer service,price jacks and all. They made their killing before Skagit Arms and Cabelas came to town

From their Facebook Page:

Kesselring Gun Shop Inc After October it will still be Kesselring's but it won't be a gun shop. Everything is up in the air right now as to what will change and what won't change i.e. name and what not. We really appreciate all the support and are sorry to say we won't be a gun supplier anymore.

Kesselring Gun Shop Inc We fought really hard to try and keep a gun store but these days it's quite the task to do with many hoops to jump through.

Kesselring Gun Shop Inc The reason we will not be selling firearms or ammunition anymore is because on October 1st 2013 we will be surrendering our FFL to the ATF. Hope that helps shed some light on your earlier question.

Kesselring Gun Shop Inc It's a forced surrender. I have no updates as of right now for a new shop

That also means that if you bought a gun from them thier FFL records will now be in the hands of the feds.

I assumed it was already.

Too bad...   I would think that these days a company needs some really solid processes.  If employee don't obey you needed to fire them.  Even it they were family...
