Buy more than one

[Valk]

I went to purchase a hand gun and ended up buying 2 (the prices were comparable to what I saw on different web sites). One of the guns was out of stock and the purchase was completed the next morning. I did have to fill out another 4473 and they had to call in a second NCIC. I was not concerned about having multiple back ground checks since my CHL was ‘in the mail”. The second call for NCIC would not have been necessary if I had had my CHL. It came the afternoon of the second purchase.

I did realize it may raise a red flag.

From what I can gather, there is a requirement of the FFL to do some “multiple purchases” paperwork and notify local police and the ATF.

If that is a requirement (notifying local and ATF) shouldn’t they let me know that? Could it prompt a visit by the ATF?

I don’t have anything bad to say about that dealer and would certainly go back to buy anything else I need.

I don’t feel like I did anything wrong and have nothing to hide.

Yes, they will report a multiple purchase.

The likelihood of it getting you a visit from the local police or ATF is slim to none.

Congrats on your new guns.

Thank You!

Well, that depends..... if you were buying two Jennings .25 caliber pistols, then yeah, I would hide the fact. If you were buying two Kimber Pro CDP 1911s, then no, you've got nothing to hide.

[snatchel]

I wanna know what you bought!

[ffemt300]

Yeah! Spill it!

[Valk]

It appears that what I am buying is the same thing a LOT of others are buying. Not saying there is a shortage or anything. Went to get an ammo can yesterday and the next person was looking for the same thing!

Nothing wrong with a couple RIAs either

I was at a show a couple of weeks ago and saw a guy trying to sell his Jimenez pistols. There really ought to be a law that requires these pieces of junk to be melted back to the pile of zinc they were cast from.

They make good trotline weights.

A buddy of mine bought one of those jimenez pistols, because in his situation at the time, the money was right. He immediately starting saving for a new pistol.

Bought four of the same pistol at one time. One for each family member. Never heard boo.

I bought 6 AK receivers the other day. 2 Ar receivers a few weeks before. Its the ATF sending the guns to mexico not me. I have never heard a word about it.

So what did you get?

[mrvmax]

Two or more handgun purchases in a 5 day period have to be reported. The form goes to the ATF and the chief law enforcement officer where the FFL resides. There is a lot of info on that form, serial numbers, the buyers info etc. Do a google search for "ATF multiple handgun sales form" and see what is on it. The ATF does look at the data, I have been contacted by them when I made mistakes on the form. I do not think you will ever get contacted by ATF but they do review the info.
