This is an alternate recommendation as a result of a licensee’s failure to timely and/or correctly record acquisition and disposition entries as well as licensee’s failure to record any ID on ATF Forms 4473 . The license was issued in 2013, and this was licensee’s first compliance inspection. FFL activity is secondary to licensee’s full-time employment with the University of Dayton. Licensee’s errors were a direct result of illegible and sloppy record keeping, and licensee’s percentages of error are high due to low-volume business activity. Licensee intends to begin keeping the bound book electronically per ATF Ruling 2016-1 which will help ensure all records are legible and complete. Licensee acknowledged significance of violation(s) and was very cooperative during inspection.
