The licensee was subject to a firearms compliance inspection August 24, 2016 through September 28, 2016. The licensee was cited for nine violations. Specific to the recomm n of Revocation, the licensee was cited for the following: 27 CFR 478.50 - Licensee conducted business away from the licensed premises redactedcasions and 27 CFR 478.128(c) - The licensee knowingly made false statements and/or representation with respect to the information required by the provisions of the Gun Control Act i redactedtance. Specifically, through forward traces the Investigator verified the licensee sold firearms off-premise on at lea redacted asions. The licensee was asked repeatedly throughout the inspection if they had ever conducted business away from the licensee business premise (their personal residence), and the licensee had always responded "no." Following the investigator's forward traces, the licensee told the Investigator that one of his customer's, redacted had called to tell him that the ATF had meet with him to discuss his firearms purchases and where they had taken place. The Investiaator spoke with redacted and he confirmed that he met the licensee off-premise to purchase the firearm. When asked about his conversation with redacted whether or not he had anything to say, the licensee said, “nope, I’m caught.” Additionally, in response to the Report of Violations the licensee stated that he thought his license would be in danger if he was caught dealing away from his licensed premises and that’s why he had said that all business transactions had occurred at his business premises. Although the licensee’s false statements to the IOI concerning the off-site sales is unacceptable, the licensee did not falsify any required records. Nowhere on the ATF Form 4473 or in the A&D Record did the licensee make any false statements. Thus, the licensee’s false statements to the IOI are not actionable under 27 CFR 478.128(c). Additionally, the licensee completed an ATF Form 4473 and conducted the required background check on all off-sites sales. There were no transferred conducted without background checks and no transfers to prohibited persons. Therefore, I am recommending a DIO Waring Conference in lieu of Revocation. DIO WC was held on 1/26/2017. A post DIO WC letter was sent to the licensee on 1/30/2017.
