Ffl dealer selling used firearms without 4473

[Cataula]

If it's not in the Bound Book no ffl required, but if the firearm in question is at his ffl location without being in the Bound Book would raise questions. Unless his ffl location is at his home. A lot of what if's here.

I've been to a gun show (Gem Capital? Or RK show? I forget....) where one guy had a big long vendor's table full of handguns, only handguns, and lots of cheapies from Rossi, Taurus, Lorcin, etc. He was telling everybody who passed by and so much as glanced at his guns that he was a PRIVATE SELLER and there'd be no background check or paperwork.

Seems we have a ton of wanna be lawyers and atf agents.. practicing law with only the degree of being a nosey wannabe.

There's plenty of real BATFE agents here. We don't need all the wannabes.

NO, LMAO. Because I’m trying to be FFL dealer very soon, and i was wondering if i can still buy&sell&trade my surplus collection without involving 4473.

ATF has an office in Macon, or used to. Give 'em a call.

My neighbor is one and he is cool.

Why would you care what the FFL does with his property? He should be able to sell firearms without any license.

you looking to be a good citizen and snitch him out to the government?

Maybe

That is where you are wrong. At some point the ATF will decide you are dealing without a license and bring in a felon to buy a gun from you. Then you are screwed. Totally at the whim of the ATF.

Every flea market in the South has a least one booth where some guy is selling guns, and has been doing so for years.

The only locally that has ever gotten busted was one where the undercover agent told the seller that he had a buddy who had just got out of prison and needed a gun, seller told them to meet him at his house, and he proceeded with sale to an actual felon while the ATF agent watched.

Even so, the seller was only charged with selling to a felon, not being an illegal dealer. The proof to show that someone meets the legal definition is too involved, and too time consuming for ATF when there is so much other low hanging fruit.
