Mulitple gun purchase question
I thought I saw a thread about buying two guns within 5 days but my search-fu failed me. Does the flag go up if you do so from two different dealers? I have an out of state transfer coming in this week to one store and picking up a gun I won at another (funny story for another thread). Thanks for any clarification.
That's for Hand Guns. Typical Legislative anti-gun logic. If one's buying2 hand guns within a weeks (IIRC) period, doesn't matter how many different FFL's used, CLEO gets notified along with the ATF. YET, that same purchaser can buy 25 long guns without a blip on radar. If it's 2 hand guns, pay the ffl buy ask him if you can hold off doing the 4473 a few days.

Not sure about your question, but (don't mean to hijack your thread)
I did find out the other day that if you are doing a private transfer at an FFL and an FFL transfer for something you had shipped to the FFL where you are doing the private transfer, the CBI makes you do two separate background checks with separate fees.
Don't know if it put me on another list or not though.
It's two or more handguns within 5 business days. An FFL is required to complete a "Report of Multiple Sales or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers" form and immediately fax or mail it to ATF.

I assume then that CBI would notify as I'm talking two different ffls. Thanks for the replies.
So not true. You can have multiple firearms on your 4473 despite the source of where they come from as long as they are transferred at the same time.Originally Posted by davsel

As monkey said, not true. Pardon my language but it sounds like your FFL is being lazy and wanted to make a little extra cash. I believe you can fit five items on one 4473. I've seen some dealers charge an additional $5 per item but that's it. The good guys will fit as many as they can for you to save you some money.Not sure about your question, but (don't mean to hijack your thread)

The situation was: I had a stripped lower sent to this FFL from in state.
I was also buying a handgun from a private individual. I figured we'd do the transfer at the same FFL in order to only have one background check.
The FFL originally filled out one form for both transfers. When they called it in and told them what I was doing, they were told that they needed to do two separate transfers.
The FFL gave me two new forms to fill out and charged me an additional fee.
Of course it made no sense to me. Just passing on my personal experience.
As the owners of the items transferred were separate entities, individual 4473 would be appropriate.
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Sure would be nice if they had some mechanism in place that would allow a gun buyer to go through a background check and be issued a photo ID card.
This card could be good for five years, and could be revoked if the individual violated the terms.
Then, the buyer would only need to show his card and no additional background check would be necessary.
Hmm, what would that look like?
