Federal Firearms Licensee Quick Reference and Best Practices Guide

bet365 �� Publication 5300.15
Revised December 2021

bet365 �� Industry Operations Investigators (IOIs) assist Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) in understanding and complying with the laws and regulations for operating a firearms business. Whether it is with proper recordkeeping or lawfully transferring firearms, IOIs ensure that FFLs comply with Federal firearms laws and regulations.

It is vital that FFLs comply with all laws and regulations, both to protect their communities from violent crime and to maintain their license. Adhering to the statutory and regulatory requirements discussed in this guidance document will assist FFLs in complying with all required firearm laws and regulations and will significantly contribute to ensuring public safety and the traceability of firearms. To maximize public safety, bet365 �� will, absent extraordinary circumstances, initiate proceedings to revoke the license of any dealer that has committed a willful regulatory violation of the Gun Control Act (GCA) for specified violations. These violations are: Transferring a firearm to a prohibited person; failing to run a required background check: falsifying records, such as a firearms transaction form; failing to respond to an bet365 �� tracing request; or refusing to permit bet365 �� to conduct an inspection in violation of the law.

We encourage FFLs to contact bet365 �� if they have any questions about their responsibilities as an FFL, or to report a public safety concern.

To learn more about firearms laws and regulations, as well as safety and security recommendations, we encourage FFLs to read the following publications found online at www.atf.gov:

This guide examines a list of the most common issues observed by bet365 �� IOIs during bet365 �� inspections.
��

Top Violations Impacting Public Safety

Failure to Obtain an bet365 �� Form 4473—Firearms Transaction Record When Required.
Failure of an FFL to Obtain a Complete and Correct bet365 �� Form 4473.
Failure to Conduct a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Background Check Prior to the Transfer of a Firearm.
Sale or Transfer of a Firearm to a Prohibited Person.
Improper Sale to a Non-Resident.
Failure to Obtain Appropriate Identification Documents Prior to Transfer of a Firearm.
Failure to Record Complete and Accurate Acquisition and Disposition Information.
Failure to Report the Sale of Multiple Handguns and/or Certain Rifles, if Required.
Failure to Report Lost or Stolen Firearms.
Providing False Information.

Note: This guide pertains to Federal firearms laws under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA). Each licensee must ensure compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws. bet365 �� recognizes that the terms “mental defective” and “alien” are outdated, but are included in this document because they are the terms used in the relevant statutes and in the implementing regulations.
��

Educating Your Customers

One important way licensees can promote public safety is by educating customers. bet365 �� publishes a variety of literature that FFLs can furnish to customers to help them better understand their legal obligations as firearms owners, as well as practical steps they can take to help keep firearms out of the hands of prohibited persons and facilitate the safe storage of firearms. bet365 �� encourages FFLs to provide customers with the following useful publications which can be ordered from the bet365 �� Distribution Center or downloaded from bet365 ��'s website.

Safety and Security for Firearm Owners (bet365 �� P 5300.22)
This publication provides recommendations for safe firearms handling, as well as ways to help firearm owners protect themselves and the public from the theft, loss, or misuse of their firearm. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or deliver a firearm to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe are prohibited from possessing or receiving firearms. Unlicensed persons do not have the ability to use NICS to conduct a background check on a prospective transferee/buyer and, consequently, have no comprehensive way to confirm whether the transferee/buyer is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm. bet365 �� strongly encourages FFLs to assist unlicensed persons in facilitating private party transfers. bet365 �� Procedure 2020-2 provides FFLs with formal guidance to comply with the recordkeeping and background check requirements while facilitating firearm transfers between private parties.
��
Do I need a license to buy or sell firearms? (bet365 �� P 5310.2)
This publication contains information to help the public understand when those who buy and sell firearms must have a federal firearms license.
��
Youth Handgun Safety Act Notice (bet365 �� I 5300.2)
This publication highlights the federal law that prohibits, except in certain limited circumstances, anyone under 18 years of age from knowingly possessing a handgun, or any person from selling, delivering, or otherwise transferring a handgun to a person under 18. Federal law requires licensees to provide the information contained in this publication at the time of transfer of a handgun to a nonlicensee. Federal law also requires the posting of this information in the licensed premises.
��
Personal Firearms Record (bet365 �� P 3312.8)
This document – which is intended to be filled out and maintained by firearms owners – records important information about their firearms useful for identification and reporting in case of theft or loss.
��
Don't Lie for the Other Guy
Don’t Lie for the Other Guy is a national campaign to prevent the illegal straw purchase of firearms. The campaign includes a variety of products FFLs can utilize to help prevent straw purchasing, including training videos, posters, booklets, and other materials.
��

Your License Quick Reference

For the purposes of this guide, a Federal firearms licensee is referred to as “you,” “a licensee,” and “FFL.” Upon receipt of a firearms license, each licensee should carefully examine the license to make sure all information contained therein is correct. If you find an error, contact the Chief, Federal Firearms Licensing Center (FFLC) and, if the error was on ��չ�’s part, return the license to the FFLC along with a statement showing the nature of the error for correction. A new application may be required if the error was on the part of the applicant. Your license must be posted on the premises covered by the license and readily available for inspection by any bet365 �� officer ().
��

Expiration and Renewal of Your License

Applicable Laws and Regulations:��27 CFR §§ , , .

Your Federal firearms license is in effect until the expiration date on the license, unless terminated sooner. The license covers business operations only at the location specified on the license or at a qualifying gun show or event in the State where you are licensed. No additional license is required for a separate warehouse used solely for firearms storage, provided you maintain your required records at your licensed premises (27 CFR 478.50).

bet365 �� will send you a renewal application—bet365 �� Form 8 Part II, Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Renewal Application (bet365 �� Form 8, Part II)—approximately 90 days before the expiration date on your license. If you have not received your renewal application 30 days before the license expiration date, please contact the FFLC toll-free at 1-866-662-2750. ��(Please also call FFLC and the National Tracing Center (NTC) at 1-800-788-7133 should you no longer wish to be licensed. Please see the “Sale of Business or Going Out of Business” section on page 27 of this guide regarding the delivery of your records upon discontinuance of your business.)

To renew your license, you must complete and submit the renewal application (bet365 �� Form 8 Part II), with the required fee, to the address specified on the form prior to the license expiration date. The submission address is:

Federal Firearms Licensing Center
P.O. Box 6200-20
Portland, OR 97228-6200

If you file your renewal before the license expiration date, you may continue to operate until you receive your new license.

If the new license does not arrive by your expiration date, ��չ�’s FFLC can issue a Letter of Authorization to establish proof of your licensed status to other FFLs.
��

Changing Your Mailing Address or the Address of Your Premises

Applicable Laws and Regulations:��27 CFR §§ , .

If you intend to change the location of your business premises:��Notify the Chief, FFLC, not less than 30 days prior to moving your business to a new address by filing bet365 �� Form 5300.38, Application for an Amended Federal Firearms License. Your original license must be submitted with the bet365 �� Form 5300.38. ��You may not operate as an FFL at a new address until you have received the amended license from bet365 ��.

If your mailing address changes:��You should notify bet365 �� as soon as possible by sending a letter advising of the new mailing address to:

Chief, FFLC
bet365 �� National Services Center
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, WV 25405
Phone: (866) 662-2750
��

Change of Control or Change of Business Entity

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , , , , .

A change of control occurs when the licensed entity (e.g., XYZ, Inc.) remains intact but actual or legal control of the entity changes, directly or indirectly, by change of stock ownership or control, by operation of law, or in any other manner. The licensee is not required to submit a new application for an FFL as the result of a change of control but must provide notification to the FFLC within 30 days of such change. However, upon expiration of the license, the corporation or association must file an Application for Federal Firearms License, bet365 �� Form 7/7CR (5310.12/5310.16) (Form 7/7CR), as required by 27 CFR 478.44.

Licenses are not transferable. A change of the licensed business entity occurs when the actual licensed entity itself ceases to operate and a new entity is created (e.g., John Gun, a sole proprietor, ceases operations and John’s Guns, Inc. is created to assume the operations). ��The new business entity must submit an application to the FFLC, and receive a firearms license, prior to beginning operations requiring an FFL.

A licensee does not need to submit a new application for a license when a corporation becomes an LLC under a State conversion statute where no lease, sale, or other transfer of the authorized operations occurs. In these cases, the licensee must comply with the requirements in 27 CFR 478.54. Licensees should refer to the State law in the State of licensure for conversion statutes of legal entities.

Licensees may report new responsible persons by filing an bet365 �� Form 7/7CR, Part B - Responsible Person Questionnaire (RPQ) with the Chief, FFLC. The licensee must provide all of the identifying information for the new responsible person(s) as required on bet365 �� Form 7/7CR. The form must be accompanied by a current photograph of the responsible person(s) and fingerprints submitted on an FBI Fingerprint Card (FD-258). Fingerprints must be clear in order to conduct an accurate background check. bet365 �� recommends that the fingerprint card be processed by an individual regularly accustomed to fingerprinting. When adding a responsible person using Part B, you must include a signed written request from a current/existing responsible person of the licensee authorizing the addition of the new responsible person(s).
��

bet365 �� Inspections and Outcomes

Applicable Laws and Regulations: 18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § ,

bet365 �� may enter the premises and places of storage of any licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector during business hours for the purposes of inspecting or examining the records, documents, ammunition and firearms and to ensure compliance with GCA recordkeeping requirements. Compliance inspections are conducted by ��չ�’s industry operations investigators (IOIs). Inspections are generally unannounced, occur during the licensee’s business hours, and may also include an inspection of off-site storage locations, if any. bet365 �� is generally limited to the inspection of a licensee not more than once during any 12-month period. bet365 ��, however, may contact a licensee at any time with respect to records maintained by the licensee that relate to a firearm involved in a criminal investigation. If a licensee refuses to comply by not letting the IOI enter the business premises or inspect their inventory and records, this conduct is considered a willful violation of the GCA and bet365 �� will pursue revocation of the license. While the GCA does not define “willful,” Federal courts have held that a willful violation of the GCA’s regulations occurs when the FFL commits the violation with an intentional disregard of a known legal duty or with plain indifference to their legal obligations.

The purpose of ��չ�’s firearms inspection program is to educate licensees about regulatory responsibilities and to evaluate the level of compliance. Compliance inspections also serve to protect the public in that they promote voluntary internal controls to prevent and detect diversion of firearms from lawful commerce to the illegal market.

Upon arriving at the licensee’s business premises, IOI(s) will introduce themselves to the licensee, show their bet365 �� credentials, provide their contact information, and conduct an opening conference with the industry member. The opening conference will provide the licensee an explanation of the inspection process, the generally intended scope (application inspection, compliance inspection, etc.), an estimated inspection timeframe, and information and resources needed to efficiently complete the inspection.

Steps IOI(s) conduct during inspections include, but are not limited to:

Reviewing business operations, including ownership and responsible person information
Evaluation of the licensee’s internal controls and security measures
Verification that licensee is in compliance with state and local laws
Physical inventorying firearms
Reviewing the acquisition & disposition (A&D) record, also known as the bound book
Reviewing all bet365 �� forms, including Forms 4473
Suggesting voluntary actions or steps the licensee can take to improve compliance

At the conclusion of the inspection, the IOI will advise the licensee of any violations or discrepancies disclosed, if any. If violations are disclosed, the IOI will go over the final report of violations (“ROV”) during the inspection closing conference. The IOI will document the licensee’s response to the violations, including any corrective actions the licensee has taken. Later, bet365 �� will provide the licensee with a physical or digital copy of the signed ROV.

bet365 �� IOIs routinely work with industry groups and individual licensees to promote compliance and reduce the likelihood of violations occurring that may result in revocation of a license or other administrative action.

For additional information regarding the inspection process please go to Firearms Compliance Inspections | bet365 �� (atf.gov).

Some regulatory violations of the GCA pose inherent public safety risks and, when willfully committed, will result in bet365 �� taking action to revoke the license of the offending FFL. bet365 �� will also take action to revoke the license of an FFL that knowingly engages in a criminal violation of the federal firearms laws. While relatively few FFLs engage in such conduct, the negative effect that willful violations have on public safety can be immense. Consequently, the courts have also held that a single willful violation of a GCA regulation is a sufficient basis for bet365 �� to revoke an FFL’s license.

Absent extraordinary circumstances, bet365 �� will issue a notice of revocation whenever it determines an FFL has willfully committed a single act of one of the following violations:

Transferring a firearm to a prohibited person
Failing to conduct a required background check
Falsifying records, such as a firearms transaction form
Failing to respond to a trace request
Refusing to permit bet365 �� to conduct an inspection

Other willful violations that may result in the issuance of a notice of revocation include but are not limited to failure to:

Account for firearms
Verify and document buyer eligibility
Maintain records needed for successful firearms tracing
Report multiple sales of handguns

If the violations do not warrant a notice of revocation, bet365 �� has several ways to guide the FFL toward corrective actions and future compliance. These methods include issuing an ROV, sending a warning letter, and holding a warning conference (or meeting) with the industry member When an bet365 �� inspection reveals that regulatory violations are the result of inadvertence or administrative mistakes, and are not recurring or threatening to public safety, bet365 �� will work to assist the licensee in taking corrective actions to ensure those violations are not repeated and the licensee achieves full compliance.

When bet365 �� does pursue revocation, the procedures specified under Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 478 (), are followed.

First, bet365 �� sends the licensee a notice of revocation (bet365 �� Form 4500) that includes the violations that are the basis for pursuing revocation.
��
The licensee has 15 days from receipt of the notice to file a request for a hearing with the Director of Industry Operations (DIO) in their bet365 �� field division.
��
At the hearing, the licensee can be represented by an attorney and may bring employees and documentation to address the violations cited in the notice. bet365 �� is represented by bet365 �� counsel and the industry operations investigators (IOIs) who conducted the inspection(s) that resulted in the revocation recommendation.
��
During the hearing, the licensee has the opportunity to challenge the violations, including presenting evidence supporting assertions that a violation was not willful or does not otherwise warrant revocation. Based on the evidence, testimony and exhibits presented at the hearing by the licensee and bet365 ��, the DIO decides whether to continue with the revocation.
��
If the DIO decides that the violations were willful and revocation is justified, or if the licensee does not request a hearing, bet365 �� sends a final notice of revocation (bet365 �� Form 5300.13) to the licensee with a summary of the findings and legal conclusions that warrant revocation. If the DIO decides that the license should not be revoked, bet365 �� will notify the licensee in writing.

Within 60 days of receipt of the final notice of revocation, the licensee may file a petition for judicial review in federal court. This petition must be filed with the for the district where the licensee resides or has their principal place of business. There is a for filing a civil action in federal court.

Secure Gun Storage

Applicable Laws and Regulations:�� 18 U.S.C. §��; 27 CFR §§ , .

A final rule to implement certain provisions of Public Law 105-277, Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999 amends the regulations in title 27, Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”), part 478. ��In part, the amended regulations require applicants for dealer’s, manufacturer’s, or importer’s licenses to certify that secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold to nonlicensed individuals, and that the gun storage or safety devices are compatible with the firearms offered for sale by the licensee. ��Further, the rule makes clear that a notice of revocation of a Federal firearms license may be issued whenever the bet365 �� Director has reason to believe that a licensee fails to have secure gun storage or safety devices available at any place in which firearms are sold under the license to persons who are not licensees (except in any case in which a secure gun storage or safety device is temporarily unavailable because of theft, casualty loss, consumer sales, backorders from a manufacturer, or any other similar reason beyond the control of the licensee).
��

bet365 �� Form 4473

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , .

You must obtain a completed Firearms Transaction Record, bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) (Form 4473); and, if necessary, an bet365 �� Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record Continuation Sheet (5300.9A), for every transfer of a firearm(s) to a non-licensee. The licensee must ensure each bet365 �� Form 4473 is completed correctly in accordance with the instructions on the form. The correct completion of these forms enhances traceability of firearms. Correctly completing bet365 �� Forms 4473 is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that bet365 �� can trace crime guns. An bet365 �� Form 4473 must be completed when you:

Sell or trade a firearm;
Return a consignment firearm;
Return a pawned firearm;
Loan or rent a firearm for use away from your licensed premises; or,
Otherwise transfer or dispose of a firearm to a non-licensed person.

Note: You may only transfer a firearm to the person who completed the bet365 �� Form 4473 and NOT to a spouse, relative, or other representative of that person.

Exceptions to the bet365 �� Form 4473 Requirement

You are not required to obtain an bet365 �� Form 4473 for the following sales and other transfers:

Transfer of a firearm to another FFL (including collectors when transferring a Curio & Relic firearm);
��
The return of a repaired firearm to the person from whom it was received;
��
The sale of a firearm to a law enforcement agency or to a law enforcement officer for official duties if the transaction meets the requirements of 27 CFR 478.134, discussed in the Sales of Firearms to Law Enforcement Officers section of this guide; or,
��
Transfer of a replacement firearm of the same kind and type to the person from whom a firearm was received. However, you are required by 27 CFR 478.125 to maintain in your permanent records the disposition of such a replacement firearm.

Transferee’s Sections of bet365 �� Form 4473

Before you transfer any firearm, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure that the buyer or transferee provides ALL information required in each section of the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9; and, if needed, 5300.9A) under the heading: “Must Be Completed Personally By Transferee/Buyer.”

Licensee’s Sections of bet365 �� Form 4473

Licensees must accurately complete all sections of each bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) under the heading: “Must Be Completed By Transferor/Seller.” Licensees must also complete bet365 �� Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record Continuation Sheet (5300.9A) if more than three firearms are involved in a single transaction. All information required by the bet365 �� Form 4473 should be recorded on the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9; and, if needed, 5300.9A) itself, and not on other miscellaneous documents.

Information contained on a State firearms transfer document, or any other document, cannot be used in lieu of entering the information required on the bet365 �� Form 4473.

Errors and Omissions on the bet365 �� Form 4473

If, after a firearm has been transferred, you discover that the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9 and/or 5300.9A) is incomplete or was improperly completed, do NOT make changes to the original bet365 �� Form 4473. Instead, you should make corrections on a photocopy of the page pertaining to the inaccurate bet365 �� Form 4473. The photocopied page(s) containing any changes or corrections should be attached the original bet365 �� Form 4473 and retained as a part of your records. All changes should be initialed and dated.

A buyer or transferee may only make changes or corrections on the photocopy to the sections of the form completed by the buyer/transferee. A licensee may only document changes or corrections to the sections of the photocopied bet365 �� Form 4473 completed by the licensee.

bet365 �� recommends the implementation of a secondary review procedure of each bet365 �� Form 4473 for errors and omissions prior to transferring a firearm.

Electronic bet365 �� Form 4473

bet365 �� Ruling 2016-2 authorizes licensees to use an electronic bet365 �� Form 4473 provided all conditions set forth in the Ruling are met. All licensees should thoroughly read and understand Ruling 2016-2 before utilizing an electronic bet365 �� Form 4473. Please note: bet365 �� is currently drafting a superseding ruling to replace bet365 �� Ruling 2016-2. Once approved, it will be available on the bet365 �� website (/rules-and-regulations/firearms-rulings).
��

Background Checks

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , , .

Federal law requires that licensees conduct a (NICS) background check for every transfer of a firearm to a non-licensee unless the transferee qualifies for one of the exceptions listed in 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(3). Some States, known as point of contact (POC) States, conduct NICS background checks for some or all firearms transfers. Please see the Permanent Brady State Lists for more information.

The NICS check ensures that any person who purchases a firearm from you may lawfully receive firearms. A NICS check MUST be conducted before:

The sale or trade of a firearm;
The return of a consigned firearm;
The redemption of a pawned firearm;
The loan or rental of a firearm for use away from your licensed premises; or
Any other non-exempt transfer of a firearm.

Failure to conduct a background check has a significant impact on public safety. You could be fined, have your license suspended or revoked, and be prosecuted if you fail to do so pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(5).

Note: Licensees can only deliver a firearm to the person listed as the transferee on the bet365 �� Form 4473 and NOT a spouse, relative, or other representative of that person.
��

Exceptions to the NICS Background Check

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , .

You are NOT required to conduct a NICS check in the following limited situations:

The sale or transfer of a firearm where the transferee presents a valid State permit/license purchase or carry a firearm from the State in which your licensed premises is located that meets the requirements under 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(3) (See ��չ�’s Permanent Brady Permit Chart);
��
The transfer of a firearm to another FFL (including collectors when transferring a curio & relic firearm);
��
The return of a repaired firearm to the person from whom it was received;
��
The sale of a firearm to a law enforcement officer for official use if the transaction meets the specific requirements of 27 CFR 478.134 as discussed in the Sales of Firearms to Law Enforcement Officers section on page 14 of this guide;
��
The transfer of a replacement firearm of the same kind and type to the person from whom a firearm was received; or,
��
The transfer of a firearm that is subject to the National Firearms Act (NFA) if the person who will receive the firearm was subject to a background check as part of the NFA approval process. Persons who have undergone a background check during the NFA application process are listed on the approved NFA transfer form. Note: The bet365 �� Form 4473 must be completed prior to the transfer of a NFA firearm to a non-licensee.

NOTE: A licensee may not allow an individual who is a prohibited person to receive or possess firearms or ammunition, including persons employed by the licensee. bet365 �� encourages licensees to conduct background checks on their employees on a regular interval (e.g., on an annual basis) to ensure prohibited employees do not possess firearms or ammunition. However, licensees may not use the NICS system for these checks.
��

Prohibited Transfers

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § ,

You MAY NOT sell or otherwise dispose of a firearm to a person other than the actual buyer or transferee. A person has given you reason to believe he or she is not the actual buyer or transferee, and the transaction must be stopped, if the person answers:

“No” to the question on bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) that asks:

“Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s) (bet365 �� Form 5300.9A)?”

You MAY NOT sell or otherwise dispose of a firearm or ammunition to any person you know or have reasonable cause to believe is prohibited from shipping, transporting, possessing or receiving a firearm.

A person has given you reason to believe he or she is prohibited, and the transaction must be stopped, if the person answers:

“Yes” to a question on the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) that asks:

“Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year, or are you a current member of the military who has been charged with violation(s) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and whose charge(s) have been referred to a general court-martial?”

AND

“No” to the question on the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) that asks:

“If you are such an alien do you fall within any of the exceptions stated in the instructions?”

You MAY NOT sell or transfer a firearm or ammunition to persons prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition as described below. Please see the instructions on the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) for applicable definitions and/or possible exceptions.

Straw Purchaser: A “straw purchaser” is a person who is not the “actual buyer” of the firearm; that is, a person who obtains a firearm for another person. If you suspect that a transaction is a straw purchase, or there are suspicious circumstances surrounding the potential sale, you should not sell the firearm and you should notify your local bet365 �� office.
��
Person Under Indictment or Information: Any person who is under indictment or information for a felony, or any other crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, in any Federal, including a General Court-Martial, State or local court. An information is a formal accusation of a crime verified by a prosecutor. A member of the Armed Forces must answer “Yes” to the applicable question if charged with an offense that is referred to a General Court-Martial.
��
Person Convicted of a Crime Punishable by Imprisonment for a Term Exceeding 1 Year: Any person who has been convicted in any Federal court, including a General Court-Martial, State or local court of a felony, or any other crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.

EXCEPTIONS: A person is not prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm if that person: (1) has been convicted of any Federal or State offense pertaining to antitrust violations, unfair trade practices, restraints of trade, or other similar offenses relating to the regulation of business practices; or (2) has been convicted of a State misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of two years or less. A person convicted of a felony or other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned the person for more than one year is not prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm if, under the law of the jurisdiction in which the conviction occurred, the person has been pardoned, the conviction has been expunged or set aside, or the person has lost and regained civil rights (the right to vote, sit on a jury, and hold public office) AND the law of the convicting jurisdiction does not prohibit the person from receiving or possessing firearms.
��
Fugitive from Justice: Any person who has fled from any State to avoid prosecution for a felony or a misdemeanor; or any person who leaves the State to avoid giving testimony in any criminal proceeding. The term also includes any person who knows that misdemeanor or felony charges are pending against such person and who leaves the State of prosecution.
��
Unlawful Drug User or Drug Addict: Any person who is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (). The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes under State law.

Age Restrictions

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § , .

Licensees may not sell or deliver a firearm or ammunition to a person who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than 18 years of age, and may not sell or deliver a firearm other than a rifle or shotgun - or ammunition for other than a rifle or shotgun - to a person who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than 21 years of age. ��However, if State law or local ordinances establish a higher minimum age for the purchase or disposition of firearms, the licensee must observe the higher age requirement.

You may sell ammunition that is interchangeable between rifles and handguns to a buyer who is at least 18 years of age if you are satisfied that he or she will use the ammunition in a rifle. A firearm frame or receiver is not a rifle or shotgun and may not be sold or transferred to a person less than 21 years of age.
��

Transfers Between Licensees

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , , , , and .

FFLs may transfer firearms to other FFLs (FFLs may not transfer a firearm other than a curio or relic to a Type 03 Collector of Curios and Relics FFL), including interstate transfers, without completing an bet365 �� Form 4473 for these transactions. In these instances, the following procedures must be followed:

Transactions between licensees must be recorded in the Acquisition and Disposition (A&D) records of both licensees pursuant to , , or , as applicable.
��
The FFL who is buying the firearm must furnish a certified copy of the license to the selling FFL prior to the transfer of any firearm. This certified copy may be mailed, emailed, or faxed.

Licensees should take advantage of FFL eZ Check before transferring firearms to another licensee. The purpose of this program is to allow a licensee or other user to verify that a Federal firearms license is valid. The user needs the first 3 digits and the last 5 digits of the FFL being verified.

FFL eZ Check does not validate Type 03 (Collectors of Curios and Relics) and Type 06 (Manufacturer of Ammunition) licenses. All attempts to check the validity of Type 03 and Type 06 licenses will result in an error message, even though the license may be valid. An FFL should not use this error message as reason to deny dealing with a Type 03 or Type 06 licensee. A licensee needing to verify the validity of a Type 03 or Type 06 license may contact ��չ�’s FFLC at 1-866-662-2750.
��

State Residency Requirements

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § and ; 27 CFR § , , , , and .

You may not sell or transfer a firearm to a nonlicensee who resides outside the State in which your licensed premises is located. A person’s State of residence is the State in which an individual resides. An individual resides in a State if he or she is present in a State with the intention of making a home in that State.

Military members on active duty have special residency considerations

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § .

A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. An active duty military member may establish residency by presenting permanent change of station (PCS) orders (either paper or electronic) and a valid military photo identification card.

An active duty military member may also be a resident of a State other than where his/her permanent duty station is located. A military member claiming residency in a State in which he or she is present with the intention of making a home must demonstrate that residency to a licensee by presenting a valid identification document, or a combination of valid, government issued documents to satisfy the identification document requirement. See also bet365 �� Ruling 2001-5.

Permitted Sales to Non-Residents of Your State

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , .

You may sell a firearm to a person who does not reside in your State by shipping the firearm to a licensee in the buyer’s State of residence. The buyer can then take possession of the firearm from the licensee in the buyer’s State of residence. The licensee in the buyer’s State of residence is responsible for the bet365 �� Form 4473 and NICS background check. The A&D records should reflect the transfer to the out-of-State FFL to whom the firearm was shipped, and not to the end purchaser.

You may make an over-the-counter sale of a rifle or shotgun to a non-resident of your State if the transaction complies with Federal law, as well as all the laws of your State and the laws of the buyer’s State. As this exception applies only to shotguns and rifles, frames and receivers not configured as a complete shotgun or rifle may not be sold to a buyer who does not reside in the State in which your business is located.

We recommend that you refer to the most recent edition of bet365 �� P 5300.5, State Laws and Published Ordinances – Firearms for relevant State laws.

General Identification Requirements

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , .

You MUST verify the identity of each non-licensee buyer by examining the person’s identification document(s) prior to the transfer of a firearm.

A proper “identification document” is:

A document containing the name, residence address, date of birth, and photograph of the person;
��
A document that was made or issued by or under the authority of the U.S. Government, a State or local government, or a foreign government;
��
A document that is of a type commonly accepted for the purpose of identification of individuals.

Common examples of acceptable identification documents are a valid driver’s license or a valid State identification card.

Ruling 2001-5 allows a buyer to be identified by any combination of valid government-issued documents which together contain all of the required information: name, residence address, photograph, and date of birth.

As stated on the bet365 �� Form 4473, “[a] valid electronic document from a government website may be used as supplemental documentation provided it contains the transferee’s/buyer’s name and current residence address.”

Nonimmigrant Aliens Purchasing and Renting Firearms from an FFL for Possession in the United States

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR §§ , , , .

Firearms Purchase

Under Federal law, nonimmigrant aliens lawfully admitted to the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa are prohibited from possessing firearms.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B), states:

It shall be unlawful for any person—who, being an alien—except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(26))); to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

Due to the aforementioned, a person lawfully admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa may not receive or possess any firearm or ammunition. However, exceptions to the 922(g)(5)(B) prohibition are provided in the GCA, 18 U.S.C. 922(y):

(2) EXCEPTIONS.—Subsections (d)(5)(B), (g)(5)(B), and (s)(3)(B)(v)(II) do not apply to any alien who has been lawfully admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa, if that alien is—
(A) admitted to the United States for lawful hunting or sporting purposes or is in possession of a hunting license or permit lawfully issued in the United States;
(B) an official representative of a foreign government who is—
�� (i) accredited to the United States Government or the Government’s mission to an international organization having its headquarters in the United States; or
�� (ii) en route to or from another country to which that alien is accredited;
(C) an official of a foreign government or a distinguished foreign visitor who has been so designated by the Department of State; or
(D) a foreign law enforcement officer of a friendly foreign government entering the United States on official law enforcement business.

Please note that a nonimmigrant alien without residency in any State may not purchase and take possession of a firearm. A nonimmigrant alien may only purchase a firearm through a licensee where the licensee arranges to have the firearm directly exported.

A nonimmigrant alien admitted to the United States under other than a nonimmigrant visa (e.g., ) may acquire or possess a firearm or ammunition in the United States and is not required to meet one of the aforementioned 922(y)(2) exceptions, provided he/she is not prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition in the U.S. and he/she complies with all applicable Federal, State and local laws. Further, in order to receive the firearm, the nonimmigrant alien must meet state of residency requirements pursuant to .
��

Firearms Rental

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § , , , , , , and .

bet365 �� advised in its March 2013 FFL Newsletter that the rental of firearms for use on a licensee’s business premises is not considered a sale, disposition, or delivery of a firearm. For this reason, an bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) is not required to be completed, and no NICS background check is required, for onsite firearms rentals. Licensees do not need to log the firearm out of the A&D record. With certain exceptions, a licensee may rent a handgun to a person less than 21 years of age, or a long gun to a person less than 18 years of age, for use at an on-premises shooting range. However, licensees are prohibited from renting or lending firearms or ammunition to any person the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is prohibited from receiving or possessing that firearm or ammunition.

A licensee may rent a firearm to a person for temporary use away from the licensee’s business premises for lawful sporting purposes. This transaction is considered a “transfer” and must meet the following conditions:

The individual renting the firearm must be 21 years of age or older to rent a firearm, but may be 18 years of age or older to rent a rifle or shotgun;
��
The individual renting the firearm has a valid identification document as required by 27 CFR and ;
��
An bet365 �� Form 4473 must be completed pursuant to and a NICS check must be conducted pursuant to ; and
��
The FFL must log the firearm out of the A&D record as a disposition to the transferee pursuant to , , or , as applicable.
��

Sales of Firearms to Law Enforcement Officers

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § , , , , and .

The GCA generally exempts government agencies from the transportation, shipment, receipt, possession, or importation controls of the GCA when firearms or ammunition are imported for, sold or shipped to, or issued for use of, the United States or any department or agency thereof, or any State or any department, agency, or political subdivision thereof. The firearm must be for use within the scope of employment of the government personnel.

Law enforcement officers purchasing firearms for official duty must provide licensees with a certification letter in accordance with 27 CFR 478.134. The certification letter must be 1) on official agency letterhead; 2) signed by a person in authority within the agency (other than the person purchasing the firearm); and 3) state that the officer will use the firearm in official duties and that a records check reveals that the purchasing officer has not been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

There are no restrictions as to the purchasing law enforcement officer’s State of residence or agency location. If the above conditions are met, you are not required to prepare an bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) for the transaction or conduct a NICS background check; however, the disposition to the officer must be entered into your Acquisition & Disposition (A&D) records, and the certification letter from the officer must be retained as part of your required records.

bet365 �� considers the following persons as having authority to certify the eligibility of law enforcement officers:

In a city or county police department, the director of public safety or the chief or commissioner of police.
��
In a sheriff’s office, the sheriff.
��
In a State police or highway patrol department, the superintendent or the supervisor in charge of the office to which the State officer or employee is assigned.
��
In Federal law enforcement offices, the supervisor in charge of the office to which the Federal officer or employee is assigned.

Certification letters may be signed by persons other than those listed above, provided there is a proper delegation of authority. FFLs with any questions are encouraged to check with their local bet365 �� field office before accepting certification letters from other officials.

Please also see ��չ�’s September 2013 FFL Newsletter, Sales to Law Enforcement, page 7, which states in part:

A licensee may sell and ship firearms to a law enforcement agency anywhere within the United States. The disposition of each firearm to the agency must be entered into the licensee’s acquisition and disposition (A&D) record.

bet365 �� recommends that the licensee verify that the order is an official request by the law enforcement agency. If the licensee has reason to doubt the validity of the official request, he or she should contact his or her local bet365 �� office. The licensee is not required to complete any paperwork for the transaction outside of recording the disposition in the A&D record. However, bet365 �� suggests that the licensee retain an invoice or other receipt of such transaction to reflect the quantity and the description of the firearm(s), including type, manufacturer, model, caliber or gauge, and the serial number.

��

Sales to Members of the Armed Forces

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; 27 CFR § , , , and .

A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. However, if a military member maintains a home in one State and has a permanent duty station in another State to which he or she commutes each day, the military member is a resident of both states and may purchase a firearm in either State. If the military member is acquiring a firearm in a State where his/her permanent duty station is located, but resides in a different State, then he/she must list both his/her permanent duty station address and residence address on the bet365 �� Form 4473 (5300.9) under “Current State of Residence and Address.”

A military member on active duty, like any transferee, must present an identification document to purchase or acquire a firearm. Active duty military members may satisfy the identification document requirement by presenting his or her permanent change of station (PCS) orders showing the military member’s permanent duty station along with his or her military identification card. See bet365 �� Ruling 2001-5.

Note��regarding military dependents: bet365 �� advised in its November 2012 FFL Newsletter, PCS Orders and Military Dependents Purchasing Firearms, that 18 U.S.C. 921(b) applies only to members of the Armed Forces, not their spouses or other dependents. For purposes of purchasing firearms, the same residency rules apply to military spouses as applied to other individuals attempting to purchase a firearm–an individual resides in a State in which he/she is present with the intention of making a home. The military dependent must have the necessary document or combination of government-issued documents proving residency in the State in which he/she resides.

bet365 �� has determined that licensees may accept electronic PCS orders. Licensees are reminded to exercise due diligence to ensure that PCS orders, whether electronic or paper, reflect a PCS and not a temporary move or deployment (TDY). The dates of the military member’s transfer are identified on the PCS orders and must be inclusive of the date of the military member’s attempted firearm acquisition.
��

NFA Transfers

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , , , , , , , and .

The NFA, 26 U.S.C. § 5841 generally requires each manufacturer to notify the NFA Division of the manufacture of a firearm. The notification effectuates registration in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). According to 27 C.F.R. 479.103, each qualified manufacturer shall file an accurate notice on an bet365 �� Form 2, Notice of Firearms Manufactured or Imported (Form 2), executed under the penalties of perjury, to show manufactured firearms. All firearms manufactured in a single day shall be included in one Form 2 filed by the manufacturer by close of business the next day.

The bet365 �� Form 2 states, “[t]he undersigned hereby serves notice of the manufacture, reactivation, or importation of firearms as required by § 5841 of the National Firearms Act, Title 26, U.S.C. Chapter 53.” The Form 2 also includes a signature requirement which states, “UNDER PENALTIES OF PERJURY, I DECLARE that I have examined this notice of firearms manufactured, reactivated or imported and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete.”

The bet365 �� Form 2 notification should not be submitted prior to the making of the NFA firearm. The knowing submittal of an bet365 �� Form 2 prior to the manufacture of a NFA firearm as defined by the Act is a violation of law and may be referred for prosecution.

An bet365 �� Form 2 cannot be submitted for an item or device that does not meet the definition of a NFA firearm (i.e., chunk of metal, unfinished tube, non-existent firearm, GCA firearm). An bet365 �� Form 3 or an bet365 �� Form 4 cannot be submitted until the NFA item is manufactured and the associated Form 2 has been submitted.

An approved bet365 �� Form 3 permits the tax-exempt transfer and registration of the NFA firearm listed on the Form 3 from a Special (occupational) Taxpayer (“SOT”) to the SOT transferee listed on the Form 3. An approved bet365 �� Form 4 permits the tax paid transfer and registration of the NFA firearm listed on the Form 4 to the transferee listed on the Form 4. Some NFA manufacturers and distributors facilitate the transfer of NFA firearms through a cooperating dealer to the end consumer. In these circumstances, an bet365 �� Form 3 must be approved and the NFA firearm must be in the cooperating dealer’s inventory before the cooperating dealer is permitted to submit an bet365 �� Form 4 to bet365 �� to effectuate the final transfer to the end consumer (i.e., bet365 �� Form 3 and bet365 �� Form 4 cannot be submitted to bet365 �� concurrently). See also bet365 �� Form 3 Instructions.

The NFA requires that a person possessing a firearm registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) retain proof of registration which must be made available to any bet365 �� officer upon request. Proof of registration would be on a Form 1 registering a firearm to its maker, Form 2 registering a firearm to an importer or manufacturer, or a Form 3, 4, or 5 showing registration of a firearm to a transferee.

FFLs/SOTs must maintain their registration documents in chronological order at their place of business. The regulation also requires each manufacturer, importer, and dealer in NFA firearms to maintain the records of the acquisition and disposition of firearms required by GCA regulations in 27 CFR Part 478, Subpart H as outlined above.

Alternate Methods or Procedures (Variances)

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , , , , , .

In certain circumstances, you may apply to bet365 �� for a variance if you wish to operate your firearms business in a manner that differs from the requirements of the regulations.

bet365 �� may authorize an alternate method or procedure only when good cause is shown for the use of the alternative method or procedure, the method or procedure is substantially equivalent to the procedure specified in the law, is not contrary to any provision of the law, and the alternate method does not hinder the effective administration and enforcement of the law and regulations or increase costs to the Government. Your request should be sent via email to fipb@atf.gov or via mail to:

Chief, Firearms Industry Programs Branch
bet365 ��
99 New York Avenue, NE. Room 6N-518
Washington, DC 20226

Please see request a variance for firearms.

Marking Variances

The GCA, (i), and the NFA, , requires licensed manufacturers and importers to mark firearms manufactured or imported with specific identifying information as set forth in and . However, these sections also provide that bet365 �� may authorize other means of identification (“marking variance”) upon receipt of a letter application from a licensed manufacturer or importer showing that such other identification is reasonable and will not hinder the effective administration of the law.

��չ�’s Firearms Technology Industry Services Branch (FTISB) evaluates and responds to marking variance requests. In lieu of sending a letter request, FTISB recommends that licensees submit marking variance requests on bet365 �� Form 3311.4, Application for Alternate Means of Identification of Firearm(s) (Marking Variance), via email to marking_variances@atf.gov.
��

Reporting Multiple Sales

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. § ; ��27 CFR § .

You MUST report to bet365 ��, on a Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers, bet365 ��Form 3310.4 (Form 3310.4), whenever you sell or otherwise dispose of, at one time or during any five consecutive business days, two or more pistols, or revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totaling two or more, to an unlicensed person. The report must be made not later than the close of business on the day that the multiple sale or other disposition occurs.

Licensed dealers and licensed pawnbrokers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas MUST report to bet365 �� on a Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles, bet365 �� Form 3310.12 (Form 3310.12), all transactions in which an unlicensed person acquired, at one time or during five consecutive business days, two or more semi-automatic rifles larger than .22 caliber (including .223/5.56 caliber) with the ability to accept a detachable magazine. 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(5)(A).

NOTE: A business day for purposes of reporting multiple sales of pistols or revolvers, or certain rifles, is a day that a licensee conducts business pursuant to the license, regardless of whether State offices are open. The application of the term “business day” is, therefore, distinguishable from the term “business day” as used in the NICS context.

NOTE 2: bet365 �� Form 3310.4 and Form 3310.12 each contain six rows to account for six firearms. A separate sheet of paper is permissible to account for the transfer of more than six firearms provided all firearm information required on the form is recorded on the separate sheet of paper. Licensees may also use multiple form pages, in lieu of a separate sheet, to account for additional firearms.

Mail the original completed bet365 �� Form 3310.4 or bet365 �� Form 3310.12 to bet365 ��, or email or fax a copy thereof, as directed on the form. You must also forward a completed copy of the bet365 �� Form 3310.4 to the official designated by the State or local authorities to receive the form. In the absence of such a designation, forward a completed copy of the form to the department of State police or State law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over the place where the transaction(s) occurred.

bet365 �� Form 3310.4 may be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the following:

NTC

244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405

244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405

Pursuant to , you are required to retain a copy of the completed bet365 �� Form 3310.4 or the bet365 �� Form 3310.12. bet365 �� Form 3310.4 must be attached to the back of the bet365 �� Form 4473 for the transfer as part of your records. ��We recommend that licensees attach the bet365 �� Form 3310.12 to the back of the corresponding bet365 �� Form 4473.

Licensees do not need to complete bet365 �� Form 3310.4 or bet365 �� Form 3310.12 for the return of multiple handguns or rifles to the same person from whom they were received — such as the return of multiple consignment, pawned, or repaired firearms. Additionally, bet365 �� Form 3310.4 is not required for frames or receivers of any firearms, or firearms having a pistol grip that expel a shotgun shell (pistol grip firearms), because they are not “pistols or revolvers;” see bet365 �� Form 4473 instructions pertaining to the “Category of firearm(s) to be transferred.”
��

Accountability for Firearms

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR § .

Firearms missing from inventory are among the most commonly cited GCA violations. Missing firearms also have a direct impact on public safety. These violations occur when FFLs have “open entries” in their A&D records and are unable to physically locate the firearms in inventory or otherwise account for the firearm’s final disposition.

To reduce or eliminate violations resulting from unaccounted firearms, please consider the following best practices to ensure accountability of your firearms inventory:

Consider setting aside all completed bet365 �� Forms 4473 in a centralized location for each day’s sales. At the close of the business day, document in the A&D Record the disposition of each firearm recorded on the bet365 �� Forms 4473.
��
Consider setting aside in a centralized location documentation for each day’s firearms taken into your business. At the close of the business day, document in the A&D Record the acquisition of each firearm acquired.
��
Consider conducting a full firearms inventory on a regular basis. bet365 �� P 5380.2, How to Conduct a Firearms Inventory, contains information designed to help educate the firearms industry and FFLs about preventing the loss of firearms. bet365 �� recommends that FFLs conduct business inventories to identify and prevent firearms inventory loss by theft or improper recordkeeping.
��

Lost or Stolen Firearms

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR § .

Licensees MUST report to bet365 �� each missing, lost, or stolen firearm from the licensee’s inventory or collection within 48 hours of discovery of the loss or theft by calling (888) 930-9275 and by completing and then forwarding an original Federal Firearms Licensee Firearms Inventory Theft/Loss Report, bet365 �� Form 3310.11 (Form 3310.11), to:

NTC – LESB – SFP
bet365 �� National Services Center
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, WV 25405
Fax: ��(304) 260-3676 or (304) 260-3671
Email: ��StolenFirearms@atf.gov

A loss of a firearm occurs when you cannot determine the disposition of a firearm and cannot locate it. These lost firearms are different from stolen firearms because there is no indication that they were stolen. You must also report the theft or loss to the appropriate local law enforcement agency.

The “open entries” in your A&D record pertaining to lost or stolen firearms must be closed out by documenting in the disposition section whether the firearm was lost or stolen, along with the bet365 �� issued incident number, and the incident number provided by the local law enforcement agency. Retain a copy of the bet365 �� Form 3310.11 as part of your records.

bet365 �� encourages licensees to implement safety and security measures to prevent the theft or loss of any firearm which includes alarm and video surveillance systems. ��See ��չ�’s Learn About Firearms Safety and Security for more information.

NFA Firearms

When an FFL submits an bet365 �� Form 3310.11 for the theft or loss of an NFA firearm, this report satisfies the notification requirements under the NFA pursuant to . However, anyone who submits bet365 �� Form 3310.11 to the address listed on the form should also email the form to NFAStolen@atf.gov if the form contains any NFA firearms. If you have any questions, please contact the NFA Division by email at NFA@atf.gov, by phone at (304) 616-4500, by Fax at (304) 616-4501 or by mail at bet365 �� National Services Center, NFA Division, 244 Needy Road Martinsburg, WV 25405.

Theft or Loss of Firearms in Transit

In the case of a firearm that is lost or stolen in transit, the sender/transferor FFL must report the theft or loss to bet365 �� and to the appropriate local authorities within 48 hours after the transferor/sender FFL discovers the theft or loss of the firearm. The sender/transferor FFL shall report the theft or loss by calling 1-888-930-9275 and by preparing and submitting an original bet365 �� Form 3310.11 to bet365 �� as indicated on the form instructions.
��

Private Citizen Theft Reporting

bet365 �� does not take reports of stolen firearms from private citizens. Private citizens should adhere to their state and local laws regarding reporting the theft of their firearms and report firearms thefts to local law enforcement. Law enforcement will request all information pertaining to your firearm (e.g., type, make, model, caliber or gauge, and serial number).

Please note, if you are an individual needing assistance in obtaining a serial number for a firearm, bet365 �� is unable to assist private citizens in locating serial numbers as there is no national registration system. One of the following options may assist you:

Contact the firearms dealer where you purchased the firearm.
��
If the firearms dealer is out of business and your inquiry is in reference to a stolen firearm, contact your local police department. It is possible they will submit a request to the National Tracing Center for a Records Search Request assuming the circumstances are connected to a bona fide criminal investigation.
��
Contact your state firearms registration office if your state has one.
��

Providing False Information

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��18 U.S.C. §§ , .

The GCA, section 922(m) and 924(a)(3)(A), make it unlawful for a licensee to knowingly make a false statement or representation with respect to any record or form required to be maintained by a licensee. You must not record information in your required records that you know is false or that you have reason to believe is false.

The GCA, section 922(m), also makes it unlawful for a licensee to knowingly fail to make appropriate entry in, or properly maintain, a required record.

Required records include, but are not limited to, bet365 �� Forms 4473, A&D records, bet365 �� Forms 3310.4, and bet365 �� Forms 3310.11.

You must not transfer a firearm to any person who provides information on an bet365 �� Form 4473 or other required record that you know is false or have reason to believe is false. You must terminate the transaction.
��

Licensed Collectors

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , , .

Licensed collectors may acquire curio or relic firearms from any licensee or non-licensee. Licensed collectors may dispose of curio or relic firearms to another licensee at any location and to unlicensed persons who reside in the licensed collector’s State.

Licensed collectors must maintain A&D records. Your collector’s license entitles you to conduct transactions in curios and relics only. A licensed collector has the same status as a non-licensee in any transaction involving firearms other than curios and relics. A collector’s license does not entitle the holder to engage in the business of dealing in firearms, including dealing in curio or relic firearms.

An bet365 �� Form 4473 is not required for curio and relic transactions conducted by licensed collectors. ��However, pursuant to 27 CFR 478.126a, licensed collectors must report to bet365 �� on bet365 �� Form 3310.4 any sale or transfer of two or more pistols, revolvers, or any combination of pistols and revolvers totaling two or more to an unlicensed individual.
��

Sale of Business or Going Out of Business

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR §§ , .

FFLs, other than collectors, must give written notice to the Chief, FFLC, within 30 days after the sale or discontinuance of their firearms or ammunition business. When a discontinued firearms or ammunition business is succeeded by a new licensee, firearms records should be marked to show this fact and must be delivered to the successor. If there is no successor, all licensees, other than collectors, MUST deliver all of their firearms records within 30 days of absolute discontinuance of the firearms business to:

NTC
Out-of-Business Records
bet365 �� National Services Center
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, WV 25405
Phone: (800) 788-7133

You may also deliver your records to the bet365 �� office that serves the area where your business was located. Licensed collectors are not required to submit records.

In order to comply with the regulation at 478.127 and to ensure required records are appropriately completed, bet365 �� encourages the following when surrendering records to the Out-of-Business Records Center (OOBRC):

Reconcile all inventory, to include NFA firearms, prior to submission of records to the OOBRC. This means accounting for all firearms in inventory and properly disposing of firearms in accordance with Federal and State firearms laws. Report missing or unaccounted firearms by filing the appropriate Theft/Loss Report (Form 3310.11). Once reconciliation is completed, the A&D Record Book should be updated accordingly, and all “open dispositions” closed out with an appropriate entry.
��
A Responsible Person (RP) listed on the license should submit a cover letter stating the licensee’s name, license number, premises address, contact phone number, contact e-mail address, and out-of-business date. Please include any pertinent notes on the cover letter (e.g., to account for any missing record(s) and the timeframe(s) of the missing record(s). The RP should sign and date the cover letter.
��
Please only submit bet365 �� out-of-business records related to the firearms business. Please do NOT submit firearms, firearms parts, ammunition, currency, State firearms records, etc. Prior to submission of your records, please examine your packaging materials to ensure items other than records are not included. If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact the bet365 �� OOB Records Center.
��
The NTC can only accept out-of-business records. NTC cannot accept records of active licensees except those records that are 20 years or older. For example, if a licensee is going out of business but their license is unexpired, include a letter, signed by an RP with the FFL, with the records submission stating that the licensee is out-of-business as of the date indicated.
��
Prior to submission of records to OOBRC, please contact applicable State and/or local agencies regarding submission or disposal of state/local firearms records.
��
Since all records contain customer’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII), bet365 �� recommends that licensees utilize a contract carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx, etc.) to ship records to the OOBRC. Licensees who ship with the United States Postal System (USPS) should ship via first class in order to protect their customer’s PII.
��

Record Retention

Applicable Laws and Regulations: ��27 CFR § .

Licensees must retain required records in accordance with 27 CFR 478.129.

Licensees shall retain each bet365 �� Form 4473 for a period of not less than 20 years after the date of sale or disposition. Where a NICS check was conducted, but no sale, delivery, or transfer of a firearm is made, licensees need only retain the bet365 �� Form 4473 for five years from the date of a NICS check.

The A&D records prepared by licensed dealers and licensed collectors pertaining to the sale or other disposition of firearms, and the corresponding record of receipt of such firearms, shall be retained for at least 20 years. Licensees, other than licensed importers and licensed manufacturers, may deliver to bet365 �� those records older than 20 years that they no longer wish to maintain.

Licensees shall retain each copy of the bet365 �� Form 3310.4 (Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Pistols or Revolvers) and the bet365 �� Form 3310.11 (Federal Firearms Licensee Theft/Loss Report), for a period of not less than 5 years after the date of disposition or loss was reported to bet365 ��.

Licensed importers and manufacturers must maintain permanent records of the importation, manufacture, or other acquisition of firearms, including bet365 �� Forms 6 and 6A. Licensed importer and manufacturer records of sale or other disposition of firearms shall be retained for at least 20 years.
��
