Re: Buying with a CHL
I don't quite understand the problem.Bitterclinger wrote:I wrote one of the guys that works there and he said the form was a federal requirement. Which sucks, because it basically means that every gun I buy is "registered".
He stated that the DL/CHL was story policy. I had asked about their document retention policy and disposition schedule and he responded that they will both documents for the life of their license.
As a document-management specialist, I think that is a REALLY STUPID policy. You want to dispose of sensitive documents as soon as you legally can. In the discovery phase, what you don't have can't hurt you.
Part of me feels like an idiot for giving up my ID so quick, but things were moving pretty quick and it wasn't like she said asked me or even informed me that she was going to make a copy. I just sort of noticed it there when she was wraping up with the "federally required" NICS form.
Truth be told, I'd probably have gone along with it and felt much better If I'd been asked. But I would have asked them to tell me how they secure there documents.
1. It is federal law that a 4473 form be filled out by the purchaser when buying a firearm from a FFL. Were you not aware of this?
2. There is no information on your D/L or CHL that isn't already required to be placed on the 4473. You put in your height, weight, birth date, address, etc. on the 4473, and the FFL must record your D/L # and CHL number on his part of the form.
3. The FFL must keep the 4473 on file for 20 years, unless they go out of business sooner, and at the end of the time period they are turned in to the BATFE.
So, can you tel me what information they got that they weren't required to have by federal law?
