Hey Everyone,
I apologize if this has already been covered before, and the vagueness of my title. This happened to me last Saturday and I am curious as to what legally could happen to me.
On March 12th, I went down to a CT dealer to purchase a M&P15-22 rifle. I drove there because I knew they had them in stock and I also knew that they had a truly reasonable price. I filled out all the paperwork and they wrote down the details of the gun, and did all the necessary stuff to start my two week waiting period.
They said that I could come in on Saturday (March 26th) and pick up the gun. I called that day to verify that it was okay for me to come down and they said it was. So, I went down to the store to pick up the rifle, and was ready to go to the range that day. I got there, explained to one of the guys at the counter that I was there to pick up a gun off the two week wait and he goes to look for it. 15 minutes later I see him up at the counter talking to one of his coworkers, kind of franticly, and tosses my paperwork onto the rack of guns behind the counter. His coworker picks up the paperwork, looks through it and then goes off. About another 15 minutes later, the second coworker comes up to me and tells me that they do not have my gun in the store because they were recalled. This didn't sit well with me because of how the first guy acted, so I questioned if Smith and Wesson truly recalled it or if the gun was sold to someone else. He reassured me that he had a contact at Smith and Wesson that could verify that the gun was in fact recalled and that he was sorry that I would not be able to pick it up that day.
This still didn't sit well with me but I gave him my contact information and he reassured me that he was going to call me as soon as the rifle came in for me to go pick it up. As I was driving back to Massachusetts, I called the Smith and Wesson Shooting Center and asked them if they had heard of any M&P15's being recalled. Then on Monday Morning, I called Smith and Wesson customer service who again stated that they had not recalled the M&P15's.
Another day has passed, and I obviously have some worries that I hope you guys can help me out with. The primary one being, if the store did sell it to someone else, is that gun in anyway tied to me? I know when you start the two week wait, they fill out a form with the description of the gun and the serial number, but that's not given to the State Police until the transaction is finalized correct?
