On October 22, 2015, Investigator redacted completed a D/E firearms compliance inspection at the licensed business premise of Spartan Firearms LLC. Mr. Gary Robert Ahlers, Managing Member, was interviewed in regards to the company’s Type 01, Dealer of Firearms License. Investigator redacted cited seven (7) violations and recommended issuance of a Warning Letter. Alternate recommendation of Warning Letter is recommended as the licensee was unaware of the requirement to report multiple handgun sales. As a result, unreported multiple sales exceeded the Warning Conference threshold of redacted instances as per ATF O 5370.1 B. Licensee took immediate corrective action by reporting all multiple handgun sales during the inspection.
I concur with the alternate recommendation of a warning letter in lieu of a warning conference As a result of this inspection, the licensee was cited seven violations of the GCA . One violation rises to the level of a warning conference. As the violation of 478.126a warrants a warning conference for instances exceeding the limit of five, this alternate recommendation is being submitted for DIO review.
After reviewing this assignment, I concur with the alternate recommendation of Waring Letter. Please proceed with issuing the WL .
