As a result of this inspection, the following four (4) Repeat Violations were cited: 1.) 27 CFR 478.21(a): Completion of ATF Form 4473 REPEAT OF VIOLATION CITED ON 8/3/2015 AND 12/8/2009 Nature of Violation: Failure to obtain properly completed ATF F 4473 in redacted out of 3,610 ATF Forms 4473s examined (2012 Edition). In redacted instances, Section A, Item #11a of the ATF F 4473 was answered No instead of Yes and the sale was completed. 2.) 27 CFR 478.124(c)(1) REPEAT OF VIOLATION CITED ON 8/3/2015,1/7/2013 AND 12/8/2009 Nature of Violation: Failure to obtain properly completed ATF F 4473 in redacted out of 3,610 ATF Forms 4473 examined (2012 Edition). A total of redacted instances were found where information on the ATF F 4473s was blank. The following was found: In redacted, instances, Section A, Item 11d was blank. In redacted instances, Section A, Item 11e was blank. In redacted instance, Section A, Item 11j was blank. 3.) 27 CFR 478 99(c) REPEAT OF VIOLATION CITED ON 12/8/2009 Nature of Violation: Per 27 CFR 478.99(c), the licensee transferred a firearm to a non-licensee, who at the time of the sale, appeared to be prohibited by answering “Yes” to question 11(k) in redacted instance on the ATF Form 4473 (2012 Edition). The licensee continued with the sale and subsequently transferred one firearm to the aforementioned individual. 4.) 27 CFR 478 126a REPEAT OF VIOLATION CITED ON 9/1/2015 AND 12/8/2009 Nature of Violation: The licensee failed to prepare and submit a report of multiple sales or other dispositions not later than the close of the business day that the multiple sale(s) or other disposition (s) occurred. The licensee failed to report redacted multiple sales involving redacted firearms during the previous twelve months. Based upon these violations and in accordance with the new Adverse Action Policy, IOI redacted has recommended a ROV Only with NO Recall. A/S Comments: A/S redacted concurs with the recommendation of “ROV Only; NO Recall" for the following reasons: 1.) After inventorying over 2,200 firearms and reviewing over 8,000 Acquisition and Disposition Entries, NO A&D Record Violations were cited resulting in NO missing firearms. This is a marked improvement from the previous Recall Compliance Inspection where redacted instances of an A&D Record Violation were cited resulting in redacted missing firearms. 2.) Low ATF Form 4473 Deficiency Ratings. After examining over 3,600 ATF Form 4473, the Deficiency Ratings were less than 1%. 3.) All of the purchasers who were the subjects of the ATF Form 4473 violations were run with NO prohibiting information identified. 4.) The licensee did fail to report redacted Multiple Handgun Sales involving redacted firearms; however, during the inspection period, the licensee timely and accurately reported ninety-one (91) multiple handgun sales involving one-hundred and eighty-nine (189) firearms. Of note, the redacted firearms were queried through eTrace with redacted. 5.) Improvement in Internal Controls. Licensee is utilizing a Tag System and conducting inventories of the firearms on hand. Of note, the licensee appropriately reported redacted missing/stolen firearm on 07/01/2016 after conducting a full physical inventory in June 2016. The licensee continues to exhibit sufficient internal controls involving ATF Form 4473s as evidenced by Deficiency Ratings of less than one percent (1%). Finally, the licensee has ceased purchasing used firearms in an attempt to cut down on the number of traces. 6.) No unsuccessful traces. The licensee was the subject of redacted successful traces in the last year. The licensee's average time to crime for the redacted traces was approximately redacted 7.) No suspicious purchasers/firearms identified. As previously mentioned, the licensee has ceased purchasing used firearms in order to curtail trace activity. For the above-mentioned reasons, a ROV only with NO Recall Inspection is a sufficient course of action at this time. However, the Narrative Report and all exhibits will be forwarded to the DIO for secondary review and final recommendation.
On this third Recall , Compliance Investigation three (3) Repeat Violations were found (i.e., redacted deficient Forms 4473 and redacted unreported multiple sales involving redacted HGs), which, due to the licensee's compliance history, by policy, subjects the license to revocation if willful However, in light of the Division Counsel's opinion, and considering the negligible percentage error rate relative to the business volume, no missing firearms, redacted traces, nor evidence of trafficking/ straw sales , no dispositions to prohibited individuals, or apparent threat to the public safety, a WL , no Recall, in lieu of revocation is deemed appropriate action to address the violaitons.
