CONDUCT A FULL COMPLIANCE INSPECTION. FFL POSSIBLY CONDUCTING FIREARMS TRANSFERS AWAY FROM LICENSED PREMISE. FFL INVOLVED IN THEFT THAT OCCURRED AWAY FROM LICENSED PREMISE AND PROVIDED CONFLICTED STATEMENTS TO ABQ S/A AND TRACING CENTER.
During the current compliance inspection, the licensee failed to record the required acquistion and disposition information into the A/D Record in redacted instances. The licensee provided a written statement in which he admits to not recording any dispositions from February 2014 to September 2014. Additionally, the licensee was cited for conducting redacted firearm transactions away from the licensed premise location and stated that he did so knowing that he was not permitted to do so, providing a written statement to that affect. During the last instance in which he attempted to conduct a firearm transfer in the parking lot of a local eatery, the "purchaser" stole his vehicle and the eight firearms in the vehicle at gunpoint. Additionally, the licensee failed to report redacted multiple hand guns sales redacted multiple long gun sales. Of the nine violations cited, 5 were repeat violations from the 2013 compliance inspection. The 2013 inspection resulted in ROV , no Recall . The license was issued in September 2013. For the inspection period, there were redacted firearms in inventory, redacted acquisitions, redacted dispositions and redacted forms reviewed. There were redacted successful traces to the licensee.
I concur with the Investigator and Area Supervisor's recommendation of Revocation. During the current compliance inspection, the licensee failed to record the required acquisition and disposition information into the A/D Record in redacted instances. Specifically, the licensee failed to record the disposition of 434 firearms, failed to record the acquisition of one firearm, failed to record both the acquisition and disposition of two firearms, and failed to correctly record the acquisition of four firearms. The licensee provided a written statement in which he admits to not recording any dispositions from February 2014 to September 2014. Additionally, the licensee was cited for conducting five firearm transactions away from the licensed premise. Again the licensee provided a written statement affirming that he conducted the "off-site" sales and knew it was prohibited. Lastly, the licensee failed to report 21 multiople handgun sales involving 52 handguns and two multiple long gun sales. Of the nine violations cited, five were repeat violations from the September 2013 compliance inspection. The 2013 inspection resulted in ROV only. On May 25, 2016, the Final Notice of Revocation (NOR), with an effective date of May 25, 2016, was delivered in-person to the licensee. Responsible Person Scott Harrop accepted and signed the Final NOR. The licensee had 98 firearms in inventory and elected to transfer all of them to his personal collection. The licensee was advised of selling firearms without a license and was provided the Important Notice-Selling Firearms AFTER Revocation, Expiration, or Surrender of an FFL . All required records were obtained and will be sent to the Out-of-Business Records Center. The Federal Firearms License held by High Desert Tactical LLC is considered revoked and the inspection closed.
