Changes Coming to 4473

author Posted by: Sebastian on date Jun 1st, 2007 | filed Filed under: C&R

I just got this in the mail from the ATF.

To assist you and your customers to better understand this provision, ATF is clarifying the Firearms Transaction Record (ATF Form 4473), to make it clear, for example, that any person who has been found by a court, board or other lawful authority to be a danger to self or others is prohibited from purchasing a firearm or ammunition. We will provide you with additional information about this change in the Form 4473 in the near future.

It seems like every time I’ve bought a gun I fill out a different version of 4473.  As a Cruffler, I don’t deal with 4473 for C&R transactions, but they still have to be filled out when buying non-C&R firearms.
