If they are charging sales tax on a FTF PPT, then they are wrong and the person should contact the BOE and perhaps the DOJ since they charging additional fees.
As to the lock, that is correct (maybe). There is a Federal law which requires a lock with a handgun, but it has not been properly published as required, so there is some question about it. The Federal law mentions a safe, but the claim is that the FFL has to provide it, which clearly is an issue with regards to the safe. The Feds don't accept the gun safe affidavit, well, that is what they say, but since it is not published, it is unknown.
