I figured you were old enough to know;
It's my understanding that FFL records should be destroyed after 10 years. If true, what happens if the gun is over 10 years old?No gun is "in your name" as there is no registry. If I have a s/n, I can learn the last person who bought it *from an FFL* probably. I can at very least learn the first FFL that it was shipped to from the wholesaler/manufacturer and then from there find the first purchaser.
Simply being the purchaser doesn't make you a suspect. Now if ten crime guns come back to you buying them at an FFL you may have an issue with being investigated for straw purchases, but it doesn't make you a suspect in the crime itself.
I could (well, not me any longer, but someone) show up at your door to see if you'd voluntarily say who you sold the gun to. I guess it's conceivable you could be subpoena'd to ask who you sold it to, though I've never seen that occur.
There's a lot more that goes into establishing reasonable suspicion, let alone probable cause, than you were the last one on FFL record buying the gun. That doesn't even prove you owned it when the crime occurred (as, again, it's not 'in your name').
I'm not telling you to *not* do this. That's up to you. I am disputing you *NEED* to do it. I've sold very few guns, traded a few, and can't tell you at this point who I sold or traded them to. Well, unless I knew the person from some prior relationship. I know guns I sold to friends, of course.
I always ask to see a library card.
No can do. I do everything by the book.
my current ffl just told me the other day its 20 years (i thought it was 10 too). my old ffl told me he has a bonfire with his paper work when it is no longer needed.It's my understanding that FFL records should be destroyed after 10 years. If true, what happens if the gun is over 10 years old?
They have to keep track of us somehow now that the lifetime license is going away!Didn’t someone say that ATF was going around and scanning their books?
I wondered if anyone would play the "national" carry card!But what if it’s a Library of Congress card?
And you never know when they‘re gonna show up.Didn’t someone say that ATF was going around and scanning their books?
Or is it 10 years if paperwork they have to hand over to the atf if they go out of business?my current ffl just told me the other day its 20 years (i thought it was 10 too). my old ffl told me he has a bonfire with his paper work when it is no longer needed.
