12/9/14: A full compliance Inspection was conducted on 9/18/2014. A report of violations was issued to include failure to complete redacted multiple sales reports for handgun transactions. In addition, the FFL had a high volume of firearms traced to individuals involved in an illegal narcotic investigation. Although ATF CE found the dealer to be cooperative in their investigation, I recommend that an in person conference be held to discuss the violations and internal control mechanisms that could contribute to enhanced public safety. 4/7/15: A warning conference on 2/26/15 disclosed additional information in which the licensee has knowingly allowed a prohibited person who is in control of his business to possess firearms, after being instructed to remove the person from the business it was determined that the prohibited individual was still conducting transfers as of 3/3/15. In addition the licensee has continually failed to report multiple hand gun sales after being instructed to do so on 9/18/2014. Based on the new findings I am recommending revocation of the FFL based on willful disregard to ATF laws and regulations.
I concur with AS in that a warning conference should be conducted. The licensee failed to report multiple dispositions of firearms on at lead redacted occasions. The licensee denied knowledge of his responsibilities to this end - which is a basic and well known requirement. Also being in a relatively remote location of California the licensee has been the recipient of a significant number of trace inquiries. The AS should work with the licensee to ensure he understands his obligations under the GCA to improve traceability of firearms and his obligations to report multiple sales of firearms as appropriate. On 26 Febuary 2015, the warning conference was held with the licensee. The licensee has continued to fail to report multiple sales of subject firearms, even after being directed to and warned to report such sales. Moreover, the licensee's son, a prohibited person, was found to be managing the licensee business under the direction of the licensee. Accordingly on 22 April 2015, Divisin management, inclusive of division counsel, review and is in agreement that we should pursue revocation.
