Unfortunately due to the pandemic some gun stores are legally forced to operate this way. It could also be the store owners preference. I would contact them as soon as possible and make an appointment to get your weapon.

Sounds like they are terrified of covid. One of our gun stores was appointment only for a little while. Their choice. Live and learn. Next time call around.

some states have a waiting period if its not a state requirement it is not normal but a we aren't living in Normal times right now

Also make sure you have all required identification. I can't tell you how many customers didn't bring sufficient I'd with them.

Peggy, this is actually not normal unless they are decontaminating the entire shop after each appointment. Their rules are their rules I guess. I just left my FFL on an E-Gunner pickup not 1 hr ago and was in and out in 10 minutes.

The first gun I bought on line, I had sent to the FFL nearest my house. Big mistake. The guy ran a business and was FFL on the side. Took a week to even get a hold of him. Don't know how he ended up on the preferred FFL list. It's a good idea to contact your FFL before you have gun shipped, even if he is on the preferred list, and especially now with this covid-19 going on.
