Storage Fees Bonded gun shop

[edmxz2002]

Does the letter have the date they got them from the PD?
If he keeps putting you off, " call me Monday" the storage fees per day are still adding up. Get the letter ASAP. and get them out of there.

Depending on where you are, I can notarize the document. It would be best if an attorney drafts the letter for you and sticks it on their letterhead, but if you want to draft it yourself and need it notarized, let me know. I’m in the General MetroWest area.

What purpose does notarization served in this matter?

 

[citoriguy]

Do you know of any lawyers that draft this type of paperwork up?

There are plenty of 2A lawyers here that deal with the Commonwealth and it’s craptastic set of rules day in and day out. Check out the legal forum.

If you want, PM me which guns you have and how much they’re charging you for storage. I’m always in the market for things.

I lost my license forever, my firearms were turned over to a local gun shop, I got a letter from them yesterday post marked February 3rd though the actual letter is dated January 21st(seems shady) I’m pretty much getting the run around from this guy. I’m trying to transfer over to someone else. Does the shop start charging storage fees after your notified or do they start the day they actually get them? I can’t see paying storage fees when I was unaware that this specific shop obtained them from the police. Seems like he’s trying to squeeze everything he can out of me for fees, starting with the false date on the letter and post mark from 3 days ago.

You are forgetting the intake fee per gun; the outtake fee per gun; the transfer fee if the gun goes to someone other than the original owner; etc.

We fought this in federal court, and the court blessed the current system as acceptable.

Once you guns go to the police, you need to get a dealer (209A) or licensed individual or dealer (other) to accept transfer of all non-evidence guns taken into custody. Do this quickly and with legal advice, since some PDs will cooperate and others call the bonded warehouse asking them to "hurry up and get here before the owner and his transferee arrive".

The dealer can take a vacation, deny the ability to claim guns during vacation, and storage fees continue to accrue.

What purpose does notarization served in this matter?

It prevents the PD from hanging a denial on the hook of "we can't take that, it's not notarized".

What purpose does notarization served in this matter?

There is an affirmation requirement in the statute. Although not always technically required, an affirmation should be made before a notary, if you want to cover all your bases (which you do -- that's why certified mail and US first class in case they refuse to accept the certified mail).

Good to know. I have been there before and will never return.

OP sorry to hear about your situation. Sounds like this guys is a Grade A scumbag. The more runaround he gives you the more $ he makes.

I just reached out to my original attorney that I used on my case. I’m gonna fax him over the letter and the envelope it came in along with the details and he said he’s going to reach out to the police department and the shop. He’s confident that it won’t take more than just a phone call from him to get the matter resolved

No it does not have the date they got them from the PD. I’ve tried calling and going there and I’m getting the run around.

Maybe a 93A demand letter will get the scumbag's attention? Document EVERYTHING.

You people really amuse me. I see countless threads on here about capitalism, supply and demand and increased prices are not gouging etc., etc, etc but wow, you really hate these storage places that charge fees. Capitalism comes in all forms. Don't blame the shop, blame the police dept. Not every PD uses a bonded wearhouze

Capitalism is something that naturally follows when individuals become mostly free from government/mafia coercion. Bonded warehouses have no place in a free, healthy society, and their existence is backed entirely by state violence. You would benefit from reading a book about basic economics.

 

[Fixxah]

The thing is, it’s been over a year. I was completely unaware of any of this, I just figured they’d be gone forever since the police confiscated them originally. Now about a year and a half later I get this random letter in the mail from this gun shop.

They will most likely try and stiff you to the point where the cost is not worth the headache and tell you they will just keep the guns if you would rather not pay the fee. Just a WAG on my part.

Capitalism is not using the force of the state to make you buy a service from a vendor it chooses, and giving the seller total and unlimited legal authority to determine what a fair price is.

This is hardly Capitalism. I assume extortion is something you are fond of?

I’ve got someone who will take all the firearms, I’m just getting the run around from the shop. Just trying to make the transaction.

I hate the police just as much as I hate bonded warehouses. Profiting from stolen property isn't a business model I am willing to stand for.

If a shop was willing to offer this service for free to anyone and was open about it, I would become a customer for life, and I'm sure other would jump on that bandwagon. *Hint hint to any gun shop reading this*

 

[Palladin]

I don't know the fees, but at $2/day per gun, you're into them for a couple of grand easily

 

[vicorjh]

You people really amuse me.

Your response is equally amusing. J&S?

I just reached out to my original attorney that I used on my case.

I'm a bit surprised the original attorney didn't advise you on this topic, originally. Wishing you the best in gettin this resolved, OP.

Capitalism - noun

1. an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
   
   
   
   Extortion - noun
   1. the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.​

ETA: The police are equally as scummy.

 

[Cuptabletablecup]

Are the police required to notify me when they hand the firearms over to a bonded scumbag I mean bonded douche bag I mean bonded warehouse?

 

[Broc]

J and S probably wants your guns. The fees will quickly add up to the value. You should get a $$$ number from J and S and then sell the lot to someone else for 1$ more than it will cost you to move them, just so they don't get the firearms.

This. 100%. If you will lose them, don't allow those c*nts to keep them.

This is not capitalism.

I know this is someone's troll account. I called it out this morning. If you are going to troll, go to some sh*t thread about frogs becoming gay. Don't troll threads where people are offering advice and trying to help out.

Not the brightest bulb in NH are you ?

 

[FalArAk]

There should be a list of all these bonded warehouses so people know who not to deal with.

Unfortunately, I'm a realist and I know half the people on this site would buy a handgun from Maura's Handgun Emporium if it's $1.00 cheaper than the competition.

And play the "well they shouldn't have broken the law, otherwise they wouldn't have their guns taken away" card.

An acquaintance I was talking to a few years back was telling me about this new awesome gun shop he discovered. Village vault....... so I must have come off as a lunatic with all the negative I gave him. He shrugged and was like oh well, im going back.

You need someone like Jason Guida, and you need him fast. I would call his line in the morning, you should be able to get in touch with him even on a Sunday.

The bonded warehouse should start charging when they take possession.

 

[Marty McFly]

I know there is one on the cape.

 

[CATI]

It has a receipt which is a breakdown of the fees that I apparently owe them. It then has a rate in which each firearm is charged daily that it’s in storage with them. Then it states that I can have their shop transfer them to an individual who’s licensed or I can basically pay them to dispose of( make money by selling them and my fees)

Curious what the dollar amount was for the three handguns for 1 year?

 

[weekendracer]

Even a dollar a day, x3, x365, you're looking at a grand. Since it's a state sponsored scam, I can only shudder.

So which one are you affiliated with?

What a stupid post.

So:
Extortion = OK
Drunk driving = bad
