The Licensee’s attorney has contacted ATF by letter, on behalf of the Licensee, alleging the theft of both certain A&D records and certain ATF Forms 4473 by a former employee. Using the information made available by the Licensee along with sales records from Davidson’s and CDNN Sports, perform a SWB / DE Type 01 FFL compliance inspection and assist the Licensee in the creation of current and accurate records. The Licensee has waived his rights under the Gun Control Act .
A field inspection performed 02/19-03/10/16; a ROV was issued for nine recordkeeping/reporting violations (one of which was a repeat violation), a single conduct of business violation and a single administrative violation. Revocation is specifically merited as a result of the licensee's discontinued maintenance of an A&D Record. Three of the additional violations merit a Warning Conference for (1.) repeated failure to timely/correctly record the acquisition and/or disposition redacted firearms (which includes the declared loss redacted unreconciled/missing firearms), (2.) failure to execute and/or retain an ATF form 4473 — redacted verified transactions, and (3.) failure to conduct a NICS background check redacted instances. The remaining violations merit either the issuance of a Warning Letter or ROV citation only.
