When I had an FFL and was doing transfers I left the firearm in the shipping package and let the customer open it. That way if the firearm was damaged or anything missing, he would know I had nothing to do with it. I did multiple transfers for the one fee as long as they were all done at the same time. This ended up causing me problems as I had customers leaving a firearm with me for a week or more until they could get another one in and transfer both for one fee. Then I could not get the first one logged into the bound book within the time limit imposed by BATF.

I want a Glock 26 slide on a Glock 19 size frame. I just can not learn to like the short 26 frame.

I doubt there is anything they could do, if he answer YES to #13A they're going to deny him period. Either he answered #13A incorrectly, which means he should appeal the denial, and submit a corrected form... or he answered it correctly and there is nothing anybody can do to get him a permit.
I had a friend who did just this. He appealed the denial by stating that he "misunderstood" the question. He changed his answer and got his permit renewed with no further problems.

When you purchase two or more handguns within a period of 5 business days the dealer must fill out a "Multiple Purchase" form and fax it to BATFE within 24 hours. The dealer also has to send a copy to the chief law enforcement in your city or county.

Got mine in 6 weeks. Probably still would not have it if I had not called them to inquire about it.
-
After waiting 6 weeks, I called. Got it one week later.

Renewed for a lifetime on March 17th. Still no permit after 6 weeks.

My #1 reason for liking Joelton is that it seems to be the one large area that isn't being pegged for major development as the Nashville Metro expands to handle the influx of people coming to the area. Still affordable land out there, which is why I want to act sooner instead of waiting a few years.
I agree, this is the time. Interest rates are going to go up and housing prices are rising. Land around Nashville is going to become harder to find.

Meh...you own the land, do as you like with it. I'm like you, I don't need the big huge home, just one that's nice. I'm wondering what I'd need with more than say 2,000 sqft (not including a garage) right now. Even that would be a bit much, but I'm thinking about building bigger than I need so that I can grow into it.
You're probably going to only do this once. Do it right the first time. Get everything you want. It doesn't cost a lot to upgrade now. It will cost a lot if you decide to upgrade later. I was not really as concerned with getting along with the neighbors as I was with my daughter being able to sell it one day and get most of the money back. The house has to sort of fit the neighborhood.

Well, I didn't need a lake, so no big deal.
But all that for the price is good (as an approximation) if I can find a decent plot of land to build on.
I'm retired and wanted to spend the few years I have left sitting on a boat dock. It's not a big house but it's a nice house for $250,000. My friend built a 1850 sq ft all brick with standard 8 ft ceilings and 6/12 roof pitch for $187,000. It has hardwood and granite with 2 1/2 baths with tile showers and tray ceilings in the great room and master bedroom. . All the house that I would need. I just hated to build it on a $350,000 lot next door to 6,000 sq ft million dollar homes. I was afraid the neighbors would kill me. Anytime you vary from standard size building materials the price skyrockets. If you can live with standard 8 ft ceilings and 6/12 roof pitch you can build a pretty nice 1850 sq ft house for under $200,000.

Thanks all for the responses so far. Please, keep it coming for my education.
Not looking for top of the line luxury, but I want something nice. Just looking for a place that I will want to come back to after work.
Yup. Which is why the price isn't going to be estimated on square footage alone. Again, I'm not looking for top of the line luxury, but I would want good material and approach this as a "buy once, cry once" type of spending plan for the home.
Sounds very similar to what I already have in mind. And the price point is similar to what I consider affordable for me. That price doesn't include the land you have, correct?
I'm thinking $250,000-$275,000 is a good range to see what options I can get are. Anything above that and I would have to be sold on the reason or location. Trying to be flexible in the exploratory stages here and see what is possible.
That $250,000 did not include the land. Two acres of land on Ft. Loudon Lake cost $350,000. It does include 10/12 roof pitch, all brick, 6 ft wide x 8 ft tall windows in most rooms, 2 and 1/2 baths with tile showers, hardwood and tile floors throughout, granite countertops, two car garage with 8 ft tall doors, 400 amp electrical service, 9 ft ceilings throughout and 12 ceilings in great room.

I am in the process of building a new 1900 sq ft home right now. If you can find one you like already built it will be much cheaper. I am building one because I had lakefront property and wanted it on the lake. Mine is all brick, lots of glass, steep roof lines, hardwood and tile floors with 9 ft ceilings. It is supposed to run about $250,000 when finished. My neighbor is building one right next door, same size but stone with giant stone fireplaces and timber beams. Same builder told him it could not be built for the $300,000 budget he is working with. I have another friend who used the same builder and got a 1850 sq ft brick house with 8 ft ceilings and got a very nice house for $187,000. So I would say price is going to run anywhere between $110 to $150 per foot depending on what style home you want and how exotic you taste is.

For some reason, the Titanic comes to mind......
So when the deficit goes up 8 trillion during his tenure, then you'll get concerned? I will too because in 2020, it'll be a clean sweep by the Dems. Hello single payer and tax increases. Better hope we have a 5-4 or 6-3 SCOTUS majority to stop the impending assault on the Constitution.
Once you owe so much that you can not pay your bills the amount no longer matters. If I owed $1,000,000 it would no longer matter if I owed $5,000,000 because there is no way I could ever pay either amount. The debt works out to $166,000.00 per taxpayer. The average amount each family in this country has in savings is $9,600. I'm not an accountant but I can see a problem here. How many taxpayers could come up with their $166,000.00? There is no way this country can ever pay off 2o trillion dollars so what difference does it make now whether we owe 20 trillion or 40 trillion. We are headed for bankruptcy as soon as interest rates return to normal levels either way.

When Trumps debt increases exceed Obamas, I will get concerned. Until then, I am on the Trump train and enjoying the ride.

Let's see I'll be 70 when I need to renew, break even at 102 or so, I'll have to think about it.
When you think about it, Think if you will feel like standing in line 45 minutes at the DMV to renew your permit when you are 95. LOL

To quote a famous politician " At this point what difference does it make." We owe 20 trillion thanks to Obama. The ship is going down no matter what Trump does.

You're assuming that they never go up in price. They could pass constitutional carry or politics in Nashville could change and 5 years from now they might be $100 a year. I just eliminated the gamble. By the way Oh Shoot, I'm not taking any financial advice from you since I listened to you before and bet all my money on Hillary.

I got the lifetime at 66, because I am afraid they might not let me out of the nursing home one day to go and renew it.

I just went and renewed today. Bought a lifetime for my wife and myself. At age 66. Had to go in person as they wanted a new photo.

Around McMinn County it runs about $100 per yard. In Loudon County where I am building a new house and just had to buy 40 yards, it runs $140 per yard. Quite a difference. Seems like I was told a yard would pour 84 square feet 4 inches deep. Looks like you might need about 11 yards. My guess for the concrete would be $1200 to $1500.

As an exdealer I can tell you this happens far more often than you might think. I probably had 5% denied. Of those probably 80% were cleared up within a week. Don't worry too much about it. There is a good chance it will clear itself up within a week.

Mine expires in April. I plan to buy a lifetime replacement. My problem is, I have a new house being built in Lenoir City right now. Expected completion date is about 6 months. Do I renew at my current address and change the address in 6 months or do I put up a mailbox at my new address and have my new permit arrive there?

I have bought the pusher before, and then resold it which meant I got about 95% of my money recouped.
This is what I always did. You can buy a sight pusher from brownells for about $100. Install your sight. Sight the gun in and if necessary adjust the sight with the pusher. Then sell it for $85.

.380 and I'm not real confident in it.

I could not find one locally at a good price. Bought mine from Palmetto State Armory for $299.
