2.Are acquisitions logged by the close of the next business day and dispositions by the required deadline?
3.Are your ATF Form 4473s complete, legible, and signed in every required box before the firearm leaves?
4.Is the NICS or state background check outcome and transaction detail documented on each 4473?
5.Are completed 4473s and supporting records retained and organized so any form can be produced quickly?
6.Are firearms and records stored securely, with access limited to authorized staff?
7.Do you file multiple handgun sale reports (Form 3310.4) on time when required?
8.Do you have a process to report theft or loss of firearms to ATF and local police within 48 hours?
