Buying handguns?

[BPTactical]

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

Now you can buy 6 in an average month!

Where do I begin?!?
In seriousness, I should have asked - but it did recently cause me to wait on something I just wanted on a whim. Good to know!

$60 instead of $10 What can they do if you buy 3 at a time?

If you buy two or more handguns within 5 days from a dealer there's a special form you have to fill out.

The FFL is required to fill out and submit the multiple handgun sale report form, not the purchaser.

Never really cared, nor worried, about a dealer filling out the multiple handgun form if I bought more than one handgun. Rarely did the ATF contact me over one I did as a dealer, either...even with far more than 2 handguns reported. The only time they contacted me over a multiple sale was when I forgot something on the form...the date or something like that.

I've also bought 3 handguns in one day from different dealers. No one from the ATF apparently cared about me because they never called me.

Personally, I think the worries about multiple handgun sales (from a buyer's perspective) are way overblown.

Maybe. Or perhaps the government knows you're just a mountain hermit and nothing to worry about!

Nothing! Buy all you want...

I know the original question has been answered but I just want to add that if you trip the need to do an MSR (multiple sales report), then the serial numbers for those guns *are* recorded by the ATF and are forever linked to you. It is registration.

Search the forum for "asmotao msr" for more info.
