I am basing this on the fact that we don't already have any store (other than Radio Shack) that carries scanners, coupled with our mobile scanner laws. It is possible that Dan and his team at Radio City could order the BC780, but they normally charge full list price for such a specialty item that they would need to order.
I would suggest ordering the BC780 from one of the folks who are often mentioned positively on this board. You will have to spend a few bucks on shipping, but will offset much of that by not being charged sales tax.
Good luck!
