Appointment Policy...
DO NOT SHOW UP AT THE ORANGEVALE LOCATION
WITHOUT MAKING AN APPOINTMENT!
It is the sole responsibility of the customer (you) to make an appointment with GAFS if you wish to drop off, pick up, retrieve or leave any firearm, ammunition, shooting gear, ect.

Communications...
CALL BACKS, TEXT MESSAGES & EMAIL REPLYS WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Sometimes it may take a day or two.  If you make a contact attempt and do not receive a reply within a day or two, make another attempt...  Or find another FFL Dealer.  If I already have your firearm and you are having difficulty reaching me, keep trying!  I will get back to you!  I have no interest or desire in keeping your firearm for myself...
(Especially your boring dime-a-dozen CA not-so-special stainless-steel handgun or grossly overpriced sporting shotgun that won't help you score any higher when your shooting clays the 3-4 times a year you take it out of your safe...)  lol 😂 JK!
