no after 20 yrs they can send the 4473 to the ATF in atlanta for storage

4473's are never destroyed unless there is a fire, natural disaster or boating accident

No, they can be destroyed after 20 years.

Also, ATF in Atlanta doesn't get any records from dealers. The Out-of-Business Records Center is in Falling Waters, West Virginia. The only time any records have to be sent there is when a business is discontinued.

EOD_Guy is correct about 4473s. All other records are to be kept.
