No, its fairly common for whatever reason. I've ran into that plenty of times. Now I just give my FFL's contact info to sellers (so they can give it to their dealers) or I'll request the buyers FFL info so I can forward it to my dealer when he ships. MUCH easier than me running around trying to obtain licenses and verification.

Around here most of the FFL's seem to have come up with all sorts of weird rules "because the ATF told them so" - only none of them seem to match up with each other, so either there are 50 agents telling different stories to the FFL's, or there are just a couple of agents having quite a laugh... OTOH, putting up with the various random hoops means I don't have to get my own FFL and deal with the ATF personally, so....

You don't need one and the Ez Check should suffice. If I do give mine to an individual I make sure to write across the print so they cannot use it to buy a gun on my license. Long ago I had a guy try to buy a gun from me at a show with his "buddies" ffl. Could have been true or he could have used a ffl's license to walk with a gun.

They are not required to send you one, and I'm guessing they don't want any extra copies of their FFL floating around. They've probably been burned before. I wouldn't have an issue sending to them, they were professional in their response.

The whole idea of giving copies to anyone is a outdated model. Even FFLs should not have to do this. FFL is for 3 years, guy could be revoked for years and still buying guns. System should go to an online model which is updated daily.

If a guy WAS revoked, shame on the dealers who didn't check his FFL on FFL EzCheck. |

No, EzCheck or here Quoted:
If a guy WAS revoked, shame on the dealers who didn't check his FFL on FFL EzCheck. No, shame on the ATF/Congress for not using a modern system. There is no legal requirement to own a computer, much less check a revoked list. This is just another symptom of how outdated the process is, ATF does not even mail out a revoked list. |

There is no legal requirement to own a computer, much less check a revoked list. This is just another symptom of how outdated the process is, ATF does not even mail out a revoked list. It's not the responsibility of ATF or Congress to see that dealers have computers, faxes, phones, internet, email or typewriters. And I agree, there's no law or regulation that says you have to check a list or use EzCheck. There IS a law that says it's illegal to ship a firearm interstate to a nonlicensee.......and if you want to verify that the recipient of your firearm shipment is a licensee you can use EzCheck or call ATF. I'll bet the only reason ATF hasn't gone to a more modern system is because no one has asked. It took them until what.....2006 or 2007 to write on the FFL itself that email was okay? |

Congress would have to change the requirement. No shit? Well... not quote. 18 U.S. Code § 922, passed by Congress, mandates interstate transfers shall only be between licensees with a few exceptions (e.g. inheritance). 27 CFR 478.94, written by the BATFE, mandates that the transferee licensee provide a copy of his license to the transferor licensee. ETA: There is no mandate for a licensee transferee to give a copy of his license to an unlicensed transferor, and most licensees will not do it. |

It's pretty stupid of them to think that not sharing their FFL is going to prevent much though. If someone wanted to make a faked version of an FFL with a real FFL number and an incorrect address then it's not difficult to get the FFL number off the ATF's own website and fire up an image editor.

I provide copies to unlicensed people but only because it's too much trouble to explain to them they don't need it. Besides, my license copies are so marked up it would be difficult to use it for anything but shipping verification.
It would be great if we could get more people accustomed to simply using the EZ Check system. |

It's typically courtesy for the shipping FFL to include one in the box. |
