Went to the local gun show yesterday. Looking for a Type 99 Arisaka and anything else interesting. Found a private guy selling a Colt Police Positive.....for $390. Bore was immaculate, locked up tight, and had at least a 85% finish with a little holster wear. Even had the original box with the troopers name on it. Found a dealer who offered a $20 fee. DELAYED! Seller lives an hour away, dealer lives 1.5 hours away. Could do nothing but scratch it and walk away. So disappointed. Not only did I miss this, but I couldn't even enjoy the rest of the show as any other transfer would be futile. This system is such BS. I haven't had so much as a traffic ticket in years. There are literally 4 people with my name in the entire COUNTRY!
On the upside, this has pushed me over the edge to finally applying for my C&R license. Filling the paperwork out as we speak.
