Holding a firearm during BG Check.

[cysoto]

I would I say non compliance is a really good thing especially if it is unconstitutional...........

The constitutionality of such law is yet to be determined but I do agree that this will be an aggressive point of contention by both parts.

O and once more- you don't need the gun in hand to perform a BGC, just the make, model serial number on the 4473. Read prior post....... Have yet to see anything from ATF or CBI to the contrary.

Though I don't have a quote on any specific statute (either State nor Federal) that mandates that a firearm be present at the time of filling out the 4473; what I can say for sure is that PERSONALLY I will not start the process until I have had a chance to verify the make, model and serial number with my own eyes. Having to make changes on the 4473 and then initial them opens the door to the BATF Inspector to start asking questions (i.e. brings up a red flag).
