This is my first. If back at the beginning they find you made some mistakes on a few 4473's, is there leeway, or are they real strict and just pull your license. How tuff is it. Just worried.....
I know there's nothing real serious, just not sure what there looking for. |

First thing is to make sure you have 4473's in date order and easy to locate when they ask for them. Make sure your bound book is neat and legible. Be polite at all times, they are not ATF agents just regulators. More than likely they will find something to write you up for, but don't sweat it, they cannot pull your license or fine you for mistakes (at least not the first time). For the most part they are just doing a job like you and want to do it as fast and easy as possible. I don't recall them ever asking to see receipts for purchased guns, but have them handy in case. |

My book is (pretty) neat and I have a 4473 form for all my entries. All I do are transfers and I don't carry an inventory, in fact, if they came today, all my lines are filled, I have nothing to send out or to be picked up.
At first the 4473's had a few errors, but I know that now and everything has been corrected. Now they are fine it was just at first. |

Quoted:
IOI's won't care, but there are very specific (and rare) traces where supporting documentation for the transaction can be requested, but only for a particular firearm as a result of a criminal investigation, not as part of a compliance audit. This was my thinking. Your hands are pretty much tied when it comes to a criminal investigation. |
