I hate to state the obvious, but...

Now that you know that they (ATF) are out to get you (FFL holders)... dot every "i", and cross every "t".

There is NO reason to have an error on your form 4473. If your name is on the FFL, and your employee fills out the form - then personally check each form to make sure it is complete at the end of each business day. This should be a PRIORITY! - make time for it now instead of making excuses for it later.

There are few occupations as heavily regulated as being a Dealer in Firearms. When I had my FFL in California, I was required to have 7 seperate licenses, permits, letters, and certificates in order to do business. I felt as though the Calif. DOJ (Dept. of Justice) and the ATF were just waiting for me to screw up so they could take away my FFL (No... I'm not paranoid - it's just that I thought that they were out to get me).

Impeccable records are required and expected by the ATF.

And before someone starts to bash me - No... I don't think that what the ATF is reported to have done is fair, but good luck trying to win a fight with them.

My response...

...would cause Art's grandmother to not only send me to bed without dinner but also dessert as well as make her want to fill my mouth with a bar of homemade lye soap, so I shall not verbalize it. However, I will say that some tongue in cheek comments come to mind from "Unintended Consequences", the novel.

There, that is as nicely as I can put it while also staying on the high road.
