A little info for you hangun buyers.

[bRAD]

i was not aware of this happening. however i can't say that it suprises me much. the government wants to have tabs on everything.

I was not aware of this.

Scary.... Big Brother is watching, waiting for us to tote crates of "assault weapons" to Stallinois....

The irony is that I can buy 2 .22lr derrigners in a week and get put on a list but several Ak's without....briliant I say

 

[TGUNTER]

Good info to know but nothing for me to worry about I dont think?

 

[kjonesel]

We need more dealers like you

I was unaware of this and so far haven't found that pile of money. But today I went ot Georgia Arms to buy ammo and they had posted that the DOD now destroys all .223 and 308 brass effective immediately. Sounds like the new administration has begun his program of pushing up ammo costs.

I hear that. Doesn't make much sense.

My original post, and the example of the fellow getting a visit from ATF, was not meant to imply that this might be standard procedure for all multiple handgun purchases. I would imply that it might be a possibility if like him you are involved in 4 or5 multiple purchases over the course of two weeks involving 40 or 50 firearms, 3/4 of which are handguns. BTW, that is the only verified case I have ever heard of.

+1, if you want to buy multiple handguns within 5 business days, just use a different FFL for each one, IF you're that paranoid.

Like they say, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!

I had a nice FFL once tell me to come back the next day for less paperwork.

 

[mospeada]

My FFL told me this whenever I ordered two pistols, he didn't mind the paperwork, just wanted me to know. I appreciate FFLs and the work they do, its God's work.

 

[iam1096]

About ten years ago I worked at a gun shop and was a Chief of police of a small town. I bought guns all the time at great prices because we had a lot of Department trades. Well I bought five model 66 Smiths to make 3 working ones. They cost me $20.00 each. One day I was at the police department and the ATF called and asked me " do you know IAM1096, he has been buying alot of guns." I told them " yes he is a great guy and collects them." I was told thank you and never heard from them again.

Thanks for this, I intend to by a 9mm and a .22 for practice. I may be paranoid but I do not want to end up on any list anywhere. But certainly as few as possible. Politicians change, agendas change but once they have the list they certainly will not lose it.

 

[Sig-Bandit]

I know about this and always do the required paperwork. I have only had to do a few.

Thanks for the info. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Do you really think they "throw away" the 4473 info after you fill it out?

...I thought I would post this info here for those who aren't aware of this (trying to get my posting count up!)

I see that you are pacing yourself.

You should be able to send PMs by this time next year.

Holy three resurrection .

I didn't even know 3 had died.


I'm glad it's back.

 

[shooter521]

When an FFL dealer(I am one)sells/transfers more than one handgun to the same person within 5 business days (Saturday and Sunday do not count) they must fill out a federal "multiple handgun transfer" form

Please explain the comment "Saturday and Sunday do not count". I have asked two different ATF examiners what "5 consecutive business days" means, and have gotten two different answers.

Is he referring to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as the "Holy Three"?
Kidding aside I hadn't seen this thread before.
