What are a gun dealers options if the manufacturer fails to ship a cartridge casing with a pistol or revolver?
A licensed dealer in firearms has two choices in such cases. Within 10 days of receipt of the firearm he or she can either: • Send the gun back to the manufacturer (or distributor or importer) and inform them of the obligation to provide a cartridge; or • Take the gun to a regional CoBIS Center operated by the State Police, where it will be test fired and the cartridges will be submitted directly to the CoBIS databank.
