FFL Problem

[Bimmer]

@jimmyhots

Does anyone know if ATF regulations require my FFL to receive a copy of the dealer’s FFL before completing the transfer?

Why would the dealer refuse to provide a copy of their FFL?

1. No. Anybody can ship a gun to an FFL. Your FFL is being a butthead.

2. Maybe he doesn’t have one. He shouldn’t need to send an FFL, but if he has one and he refuses to send it, then he’s a butthead, too.

Just wanted to follow up & post that my FFL finally cleared the transaction with an ATF representative and realized he doesn’t need a copy of the dealer’s FFL license to do the transfer- I’m now the proud owner of a new AR-15!

Basically the system is broken. The ATFE has done a good job of intimidating FFLs into doing things that far exceed lawful requirements. Can’t wait to see what the Holder JD comes up with for gun owners!
