do any stores finance guns?

Not something that I'm interested in my self but the topic came up while talking to friends. I don't think any do for the most part

I am not aware of any that finance guns but we do have a locally owned "outdoors store" that has a layaway for firearms. You can put a firearm on layaway with a down payment and make payments on it until the balance is satisfied. Of course the firearm stays with them until it is payed in full. Walmart even did this for a time but I am not sure about now.

If you pay for a firearm with a credit card and make payments isn't that financing?

Years ago I bought a pistol that was expensive. That shop worked with a couple "thift" type lenders. I basically got a non-secured personal loan. Now, to do it again, I would just save up for it. 30 years ago I was more "I Want!"... I remember the interest rate was not great.

unfortunately, that is the pistol UPS "lost" in shipment 13 years ago. It was recovered at a crime scene a couple years ago. It was a customized 44 Desert Eagle that was super accurate at 100m on steel chickens... The Judge ordered destroyed...

I think that is how most people would finance a firearm if they could not buy it outright.

The Judge ordered destroyed.

You see to me, that is just dumb.. he is saying the firearm is evil, and cannot ever be "redeemed". No one could possibly ever use that firearm in a responsible manner.. Nope just a "bad dog" and has to be put down... sheesh... And he is a judge.. you wonder where these people come from.

California?

Not just California; Berkely California.

FWIW, it is a really big state, the views and politics of the rural area's like where I live differ greatly from the greater LA area and greater SF Bay area...
If this guy would have been busted in Placerville, Auburn, etc I firmly believe the story would be different.

California?

Buds gun shop and Impact guns have a layaway, closet thing I know of? Walmart still may have it to.

I believe i remember Walmart allowing guns on layaway this fall.. but that is just a short window though
