A backup that hasn't been tested isn't a backup. Once a quarter, restore a sample file from your backup system. If you can't — neither can the ATF in an inspection emergency. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL #BackupRoutine

Most FFL "missing firearm" reports start with not auditing. A quarterly count is the single best preventer of theft/loss surprises at inspection. Barcode + scan = an FFL of 500 SKUs can audit in an afternoon. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL #InventoryAudit

Sell at a gun show in your home state? OK — your existing FFL covers temporary locations within your state, with prior notice to ATF. Different state? Different rules. Notice to local ATF office at least 15 days ahead is standard. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL

Grandpa dies and leaves 23 firearms to a non-FFL heir. The heir can possess them legally in most states if they're already in the state and the heir is NICS-clearable. Selling them on requires an FFL. We see this dozens of times a year. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL

Donating a firearm to a charity raffle? You still need to ship to an FFL near the winner. The charity is not exempt. NICS still runs. 4473 still required. Treat it like any other interstate transfer. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Trade-in firearms FROM a law enforcement agency are normal acquisitions. Sales TO a LEO agency are also normal dispositions — no 4473 needed for the agency itself, but documented purchase order required. Different from individual officer purchases. #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Customer leaves a firearm at your shop and never returns. Estate clean-out brings you a firearm with no paperwork. What's the right entry? The bound book has a treatment for "found/abandoned" — and it's different from a normal acquisition. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL #ATF

Federal age limits at the FFL counter: 18+ for long guns and ammo from licensed dealers, 21+ for handguns. The 21 floor applies to ALL transfers from FFLs — including handgun-shaped frames and receivers. State laws may go higher. #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

A stripped lower is a firearm under federal law (18 USC 921(a)(3)). Same bound book treatment, same 4473, same background check as a complete firearm. The marketing material on "80%" kits is what's NOT regulated — but those aren't FFL inventory. #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

A buyer from another state CAN buy a long gun from your shop in person, if both their state AND your state allow it AND it's compliant with their home state's laws. Handguns are different — those require FFL-to-FFL transfer. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Some state CCW permits qualify as a NICS check substitute — but not all. The ATF maintains a list of qualifying CCW permits state-by-state. Check the list before assuming the customer's permit lets you skip the background check. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #CCW #NICS

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Active-duty military have a special interstate purchase exemption. They may buy long guns in their stationed state OR their home state. Verify with DD-2A (ID card) + duty station orders. The 4473 has a specific section for this. #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Type 08, 09, 10, 11 FFLs are importers. Different rules from dealers and manufacturers: ATF Form 6 (import permit), 922(r) compliance, marking before importation. Most retail FFLs never need this — but if you do, the paperwork is real. #FFL #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

A firearm becomes a "curio" when it turns 50, with exceptions. The ATF C&R list adds firearms continuously — 1976 production is now eligible. Worth checking your inventory yearly to see what's now legally a curio. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #C&R #ATF

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

A Type 03 Curio & Relic FFL ($30 for 3 years) lets a private collector buy C&R-eligible firearms interstate directly — no FFL intermediary needed. It does NOT allow being a dealer. Different bound book requirements too. https://t.co/5ltUD3cp9P #C&R #FFL #ATF

Suppressor transfers used to take a year. Today the eForm Form 4 averages 30-90 days — sometimes faster. Approval shipped digital. The paper-mail process is essentially obsolete. Track every step in your bound book. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #NFA #Suppressor

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

Confused about SOT classes? Class 1 = importer of NFA items. Class 2 = manufacturer of NFA items. Class 3 = dealer of NFA items. Annual fee is $500 (most FFLs <$500K) or $1,000 (>$500K). https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #SOT #NFA #FFL

[Logbooks For Guns @LogBooksForGuns]

ATF eForms covers more than Form 4. Form 1 (make), Form 3 (SOT-to-SOT), Form 4 (tax-paid transfer), Form 5 (estate/exempt). Each has its own timeline and pitfalls. Quick reference for FFLs and SOTs. https://t.co/JokRHMIIUD #NFA #ATF #FFL

A federal firearms license dies with the licensee. The inventory does not. Here is what executors and FFL holders need to plan for — wind-down timelines, gun trusts for NFA items, and protecting families from compliance risk: https://t.co/V37AQvFM8Q #FFL #ATF

Still printing FFL renewals and Form 4 transfers and dropping them in the mail? ATF eForms is dramatically faster — 30-90 days for Form 4 vs 6-12 months on paper. Here's how to set up an account and avoid the common rejection reasons: https://t.co/Rd6Y5iXFMe #FFL #NFA
