Further, the licensee committed the following violation: •27 CFR 478.128(c): - Licensee knowingly committed a false statement on the Acquisition and Disposition Record Book, information required by the Act; resulting in a straw purchase .
In review of the inspection I concur with the recommendation of revocation. The licensee (agent of) willfully participated in a straw sale of a state prohibited person because he did not want to refund the customers deposit on a firearm and therefor allowed allowed his father to take possession after receiving a denial notice for the customer from CAL DOJ. In addition the licensee repo redacted firearms as missing without any form of accountability of the dispositions. The responsible person stated that they retain no accountability or oversight over the daily retail operations of the business, this following a warning letter on their past inspection. In addition the FFL was subject to repeat warning conferences in 2006 and 2007 under former FFL 9-94-86875, all with repeat violations.
Due to the numerous, repeated serious violations of the Gun Control Act , DIO Root concurs with the recommendation to revoke the Federal Firearms License.
