Report of Violations; Warning Letter; No Recall Inspection . The recommendation is made for the following reasons: a)Licensee transferred a firearm in redacted instance to a person who, although not actually prohibited at the time of transfer, appeared to be prohibited; b)Licensee failed to record any ID on approximately one (1) percent of Forms 4473 examined (a total redacted forms); and c)Licensee failed to file multiple sales reports when legally required in redacted instances (a total of redacted multiple sales reports not filed). A recall inspection is not recommended because of the 430 ATF F 4473s reviewed, there were only a total of redacted forms with errors The instant inspection was also Licensee’s first compliance inspection. Mr. Kirby was knowledgeable about firearms laws and regulations, and receptive to new information. He expressed an appropriate level of concern over his mistakes and vowed to concentrate on improving his areas of weakness in future transactions.
This is the licensee's first inspection since beginning business in 2013. During this compliance inspection six (6) violations were cited including transferring a firearm to a purchaser that indicated on the ATF Form4473 that he was a prohibited person. Ultimately, the purchaser was determined not to be prohibited. Also, the licensee failed to submit redacted multiple handgun reports and failed to obtain any identification for redacted purchaser. Additionally redacted potential straw purchases were disclosed. In both cases the licensee was aware of the transactions and claimed to have “vetted” the redacted purchaser. Therefore, a warning letter and recall inspection are recommended in order to ensure future compliance.
