This license was issued in 2012 to a LLC. A compliance inspection was conducted in 2013, following which a DIO warning conference was held for 11 violations. Before 2012, the principals’ business was operated as a partnership, to which two warning conferences and one warning letter were issued following compliance inspections. The current inspection disclosed six violations of the Gun Control Act , two of which warrant a recommendation of revocation: 1. The licensee knowingly allowing an employee who was a prohibited person to have actual or constructive possession of firearms and ammunition, and 2. knowingly making a false statement or statements or representations regardi redacted tances where the prohibited person transferred firearms and completed the 4473 , but had another employee falsely sign the document stating he or she completed Sections B & D of the form. Division Counsel and ACC concur with a revocation action, adding that the referenced instances included the responsible persons and employees’ untruthful statements made to cover-up that the transferor was a prohibited person. Both are willful violations and no significant litigation risk is anticipated with this case. The DIO has determined revocation is appropriate; the DAD (IO) Field Operations concurs.
