OP...Don't blow a gasket man, I really doubt it was intentional, that said it is a firearm and this kind of mistake shouldn't have happened. Someone at best needs a verbal cuff up side the head at the shop and you should probably cut down on the caffeine. You got some good advice here, esp. give a new purchase a good looking over if you can before you agree to buy it, AND when you pick it up...if for no other reason to make sure some dumb ass didn't drop it. Since you were in retail you must know that Ontario Consumer Protection Laws would cover you, so why the drama? As for calling the authorities, save that for when you know someone committed a crime. No need to involve The Man if you don't need to.

I can relate to your anger...I'm not known for my calm demeanor.

OP is ridiculous.

The second he said he called the Police because he wanted to pursue fraud charges was all I needed to read.

If I owned a business, OP would be first to be refused service. Who really wants to deal with people like this? You're not worth the trouble.
 
I help out in a lgs. We sell a specific gun, it is described on the transfer form by s/n and our stock number. We will not initiate the transfer until the price is paid in full. You will get what you saw and bought.

You go public with this "story" and expect people not to judge? You clearly have a civil issue, not a criminal one. I can't believe you actually wasted police' time with this. It was a mix up. People make mistakes. You clearly made one too by going to the police - and yet you complain about the company for making a boo-boo?

you spoke to the police about this....?

I think you may need to get over yourself.

How many people's time have you wasted over something so trivial and easily solved?

Mistakes do happen absolutely. A good business A) recognizes them and B) owns up to them makes them right.

When someone at the store then tells him point blank that he's the one that's crazy, and that "some have 3 mags, some 2, some grips, some not" I don't blame him in the least for anything he's done. Sounds an awful lot like a very firm attempt to get him to go away.

Mislabelled and mis-identified handguns are a very serious offence. Why shouldn't the police be involved?? Maybe not for the fraud aspect, but the mislabeled handgun issue for sure. What if the actual Gen4 Glock that he thought was now registered to his name via ATT/restricted list was used in a shooting that evening?

If it truly was a mistake the staffs response should've been "oh? We're really sorry, we'll look into that and get back to you within the hour". From there they should've been on the phone to their Glock rep to definitively clarify the details for the customer and themselves. That would've shown recognition of error, and accountability based on actions.

WSS has sold me rings that once opened have a very very clearly written note in them stating "customer returned due to thread stripped". I don't blame the OP for not wanting open box goods.

The old blow off maneuver is never good. It at minimum pisses off a customer, and in this case makes the business look shady - whether that be in civil law terms, or criminal.

This is a civil issue, not a police / criminal issue. OP clearly stated he looked at the goods before taking them home. First off, he should have addressed the Gen 3/4 issue upon initial inspection - an inspection which he conducted. If that particular s/n was registered to him in the sale, nothing criminal happened. This is a civil disagreement entirely between OP and store. If what OP says is true, I agree the store should have verified the pistol was a Gen4 before selling. However, if OP wants a Gen4, he should also know what one looks like at least. The Gen3/4 features are easily identifiable.
 
Are you fools still wasting time on this thread. Even the OP isn't trolling it anymore; let it die.
