Looks like a C&R license is inevitable for some of us collectors. Due to the increasing numbers of individuals purchasing firearms via the internet, dealers who receive them in my area (El Paso) are now charging $45 transfer fee! One dealer says he averages 3 internet weapons per day, many of which have to be sent back because of improper documentation. For him, the increased fee is an attempt to discourage this trade, since the book work and hassle isn't worth it. Considering the $25 shipping fee for overnight required by UPS, this makes buying even a "cheap" firearm a more expensive proposition. Guess I will have to break down and get my C&R license.
