I don't know about the rest of you, but it rubs me every time to have to pay that transfer fee through a gun dealer for collectables.
For just 30 bucks you can get your type 03 FFL. Takes 30 days. And it's good for 5 yrs. C&R guns can be shipped straight to your home. For trading purpose, and if you have your license, all you have to do is e-mail a copy if your license to the sender. You also get a wallet size license for purchases at gun shops/shows with no background check. Walk in, pay, walk out...........Art
