On May 25, 2016, Industry Operations Investigator ( IOI ) redacted arrived at the licensed premises to conduct an unannounced Compliance Inspection of Bateman, Jerry, dba Bateman's Gun Shop, holding Federal Firearms License ( FFL ) 4-35-09613. Owner and Responsible Person , Mr. Jerry Bateman, was identified and an on-site Compliance Inspection was initiated. The inspection period was May 25, 2015 through May 25, 2016. A closing conference was held on June 17, 2016, at the licensed premises at which time an ATF Form 5030.5, Report of Violations, was issued. IOI redacted also reviewed the Acknowledgement of Regulations with Mr. Bateman. Due to numerous factors including: this inspection was Mr. Bateman’s first compliance inspection in 40 years, his business consists of redacted firearms (current inventory valued redacted), his clientele consists of affluent customers and collectors, zero firearms traced back to him and there was redacted unreconciled firearm that spanned over 40 years of being in business; along with his age of 73 years old and the possibility that Mr. Bateman may only be in business another year or two, IOI redacted recommends ROV and WL only.
Concur with WL . Warning letter sent 7/1 /16.
