Is there really a limit before they have to contact the ATF?
If you buy two or more handguns within 5 days from a dealer there's a special form you have to fill out. Assuming since all sales are through an FFL now, if you buy more than one at a time from a private seller you'll have to fill it out too.
So if you go to different FFL's? Would it matter.
Different FFLs and I don't believe you'd be required to report (its a requirement for the FFL, not you).Quote:

Thank you
You will be flagged going to different FFL's. That hand gun , Long gun , other is kept on file. Been there, done that ;)Quote:

Both had viable reasons, one guy was traveling and found a deal he couldn't pass up and the other had a Gunbroker deal get sent before he expected it.
typed less be first:) The idea CBI will not "catch you" because you purchase from different dealers is false and not to be taken as the right answer.Quote:

I had it incorrectly in my mind that the window was 30 days, not 5.
