Under normal circumstances failure to timely and/or correctly record the required acquisition and disposition entries redacted or more of the licensee’s total acquisitions/dispositions, with a minimum of redacted instances, during the inspection period would rise to the administrative action of Warning Conference. In addition, a licensee that has been previously been the subject of administrative action for repeated similar violation(s) would also be subject to a subsequent Warning Conference; however, the DIO may decide that a warning letter may be appropriate based on significance and number of violations, significance of any improvement since previous inspection, compliance history, time elapsed since previous administrative action, and other relevant factors. An alternate recommendation of Viols WL ONLY and No Recall Inspection is being made based upon the following mitigating factors: The licensee and is the sole officer and sole employee for the business. The licensee is a rural low-volume pawnbroker servicing the local community. The time elapsed since the previous administrative action is approximately 18 years. The licensee has minimum trace requests and/or multiple handgun sales transactions. Due to the licensee’s age and the local economy the licensee’s future business plan is to discontinue all retail sales and to concentrate on firearm pawns only.
