Licensee immediately corrected the Multiple Sale forms error and demonstrated clear understanding of the regulation. 3. Due to the Multiple Sales violation the inspection was expanded to six years of forms and only redacted other ATF Form 4473 errors were discovered. 4. Licensee was extremely welcoming of investigators and anxious for the inspection, stating, “I wish investigators could inspect more often to ensure we are on the right path”. He was very helpful and accommodating despite being wheelchair bound and recovering from surgery. The store was well kept and records were organized and easily accessible. A recall inspection is recommended to ensure licensee is complying with laws and regulations
