I was talking to someone and he mentioned if you buy more than 5 rifles or 2 pistols within a week, the FFL has to fill out a form and report it to the ATF immediately.  Can anyone clarify this for me?  They said the law had to do with preventing straw purchases.

Multiple handgun form only.

Individual states may have multiple rifle laws.

What is the end result of this?  Does the ATF call you up and ask why? are you flagged down the road?  Or do they just want something on record so they can pull it out later and use it against you?

I don't know, I've never actually done one. Most of my guys space out their handgun purchases.

Can tell you this who ever is the ATF agent for my region who reads these things, does,  he calls all the time reference the  mistakes I sometimes make, incorrect dates, illegible writing, so, someone is paying attention to the things.

I've made quite a few over 2 handgun purchases in my lifetime. Not once did I ever hear from anyone regarding it.
