Top 10 ATF Public Safety Violations

ATF Compliance Inspection Avoiding Public Safety Violations

First installment in a series dealing with the violations most commonly cited by ATF and considered to affect the public safety.

When is the ATF Form 4473 required?

The ATF Form 4473 must be obtained by an FFL prior to transferring a firearm to a non-licensee except when returning that firearm or a replacement to the same person from which it was received after a repair or a customization was performed.

Inexperienced FFLs erroneously fail to execute the ATF Form 4473 for a number of different reasons. However, repeated violations of the type affecting the public safety determined to be "willful" will be sufficient cause for revocation of the license.

The article list some reasons for this failure and the steps FFLs can take to avoid this violation.
