We are all aware of what is happening in the firearms industry. Manufacturers are operating at peak capacity, middlemen cannot keep up with orders, retailers’ shelves are empty, and gunsmiths are being hammered from every angle. Both you the customer and you the gunsmith must be aware of everything you do at the point of the sale, whether it be something as simple as picking up a gun that was in for repair, doing a transfer on a gun purchased from an Internet site or buying a new or used gun from other sources.

When a compliance officer from ATF knocks on your door and flashes that gold badge you’d better be prepared. The first thing he looks for upon entering your shop is the “Youth Handgun Safety Act” poster. If you do not have it posted that will be your first citation. Next, he will look for your license to see if it is prominently posted along with your sales tax license. If not displayed that will be citation number two. Finally he will search for the required, displayed gun lock for sale. If you don’t have a lock to offer a customer, citation number three will be your undoing and he has not even opened your A/D books. Some ATF agents will cut you a little slack and give you a chance to correct these areas of neglect, but most will not so just get the job done. Above all, don’t cheat just to save a customer a $10 bill. ATF agents have heard and seen it all and there ain’t nothin’ you can get away with — so don’t try.
