Buying handguns?
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).Originally Posted by brokenscout
Not sure I'd be comfortable with the ATF ever finding out about it though and since everything goes through an FFL now I would try to put at least 5 days between purchases if possible.

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

Not so fast.
The FFL's conducting the BGC advise CBI of type of firearm purchased i.e. Long gun, hand gun or other. The system will catch it and the dealer that conducted the second transfer wee contacted by the ATF. I know of 2 regular customers of an establishment I used to work at that had it happen. 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.

The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

typed less be firstThe idea CBI will not "catch you" because you purchase from different dealers is false and not to be taken as the right answer.

FWIW, thanks for the info, all.
I had it incorrectly in my mind that the window was 30 days, not 5.
