The violations cited merit a warning conference. However, Mr. Finnegan has never had a compliance inspection of his license (almost 24 years). The false entries on a required record related to the theft/loss of a firearm was redacted occurrence (non-systemic); willfulness could not be established. Mr. Finnegan was forthcoming in addressing the issue, and he stated that he was unsure about how to legitimately reconcile his A&D record. Additionally, the records violations are easily correctable with proper instruction. Similarly, Mr. Finnegan was receptive to implementing the corrective actions. As a result, IOI redacted requests an alternative recommendation of a warning letter with a recall inspection .
I concur with the alternate recommendation of WL and no Recall inspection for the following reasons: The violations cited merit a Warning Conference. However, Mr. Finnegan has never had a compliance inspection in his 24 years of licensure, the false entries on a required record related to the theft/loss was unusual and non-systemic, and Mr. Finnegan was forthcoming in addressing the issue. Additionally, the records violations are easily correctable with proper instruction.
Although violations warrant consideration of a Warning Conference, a Warning Letter and Recall is recommended based on the lack of inspection history, this being the firest compliance inspection since FFL received license over 20 years ago.
