Dunham's Requires CPL Holder to get a Permit to Purchase to buy a pellet handgun

[Christian Patriot]

I went to Dunhams to buy a pellet pistol and found that I needed a purchase permit to buy (surprised me). I told the clerk that I had a CPL and he said "You still have to go get a purchase permit". I told him that my CPL is my purchase permit. He still insisted that I have to go and get another. I called Dunhams corporate and they confirmed that that is indeed Dunhams policy, put in place to make sure they conform to all  laws and do not put their firearms license at risk. I told them that that was not right and that I can walk into any gun store in Michigan and purchase a handgun and walk out with the exception of Dunhams. You want me to spend more money and time to get a permit that I already have so that I can come back to your store and then buy from you? I will not be doing that.

I will not make another purchase from Dunhams for anything and perhaps they need a few phone calls from CPL holders to inspire them to follow the laws on the books instead of making their own.

WTF? Purchase permit if you have a CPL?!

Last I checked, Dunham's doesn't sell real handguns anyhow. Nothing lost on me...

  +2 carry on.

any follow ups from you Dunham shoppers?

I might suggest sending an e-mail with a link and quote of the section of CPL law that states it can bee used instead of a ptp...maybe with a law quote, Dunham's would actually think about their policy.

I had contacted corperate. They stated that it is indeed their company policy to help ensure that they do not violate any laws and lose their FFL. I also told them that "with my CPL, I can walk into any gun store in Michigan and walk out with a gun and you want me to leave here, go to the police station, get a purchase permit which I already have, then come back here to purchase a pellet pistol from you, then go back to the police station to return the paper work? All for a pellet gun"? So, I just don't shop at Dunham's any more.

looks like i will not shop there any more.  I think I will also call them to inform them of this.  What do they think they are, IKEA?

So what happens when you comply with the law and return the purchase permit to register said pellet gun?

Years ago I had one of their retarded clerks {pimply face 12 yr old looking} tell me I needed a Purchase Permit to buy a surplus mauser98? "I looked at him and said you're joking right?" He said "no it's store policy" I said "we'll see about that call the manager please" He says "uh he's out of the store on an errand" I asked for his contact information & got "I dunno". So I gave up talking to that smacktard and went to the front of the store and asked for their corporate contact info from the one younger female cashier working [early 20ish and unpleasant looking] who responds "we aren't given that info sir" 

I left, went down the street to the local gun show that was going on and bought (2) for less than (DUMBhams) was asking. In my opinion the place won't be around in a few years and if they are they'll never see a red cent from any of my family or friends.

In conclusion THEY SUCK!

Well Smallthunder... If you contact them please respond back here again... It took me about 3 hours of transfers and leaving messages, and gave up trying to talk to someone. Finally 3 or 4 days later I got a return call with the crap you have already read. Good luck friend!
