Thank you, that's kind of what I have heard but had never seen anyone ask the question directly.Have had mine for 30 years. Have not once heard from the ATF.
I've been looking and have not seen or heard anything about that. I'd rather let them do their job and come to see me if they want. The local BATFE Office is in Downtown Seattle and that is NOT a nice place to visit and parking fees will bankrupt a small business owner. And, that ain't No Joke.I think with C&R's, they offer the option of taking your Bound Book into the local ATF office.
Does an inspection include a look at physical inventory or is it mostly checking your paperwork records? I have a respectable collection and want to know if I would need to keep my c&r acquired arms physically separated from non c&r arms and arms that are c&r eligible but not purchased with a license?I had a C&R license for a long time and had one and only one inspection from the ATF. It consisted of a compliance inspector checking my bound book and him going over current regulations. My records were in order, so that took a matter of minutes. His script on federal statutes went a little longer, but it was no big deal. He was friendly, answered a few questions I had, and thanked me for my time. That was it.
I've known other C&R licensees who never had a visit and I recall the inspector mentioning they only audit a tiny fraction of C&R holders. There was also a kitchen table 01FFL here in town that had a license for almost two decades who told me me he never had an inspection either.
I didn't renew my license, but it was not due to concerns of ATF inspections. At the time we were about to have our first child, there wasn't much on the C&R market appealed to me, and I was planned (and later did) get into NFA collecting once things settled down. By the time I thought about submitting an application for a 03FFL again, the bullplop know as SB 941 passed and, more or less, made having one pointless, so I didn't bother.
Every inspection I've heard about included matching Inventory to "The Book". That's what it's all about. If I were to get another FFL I would do like I did before and that's another Safe strictly for the stuff on the Books.Does an inspection include a look at physical inventory or is it mostly checking your paperwork records?
