Mine just told me to download them instead of coming in if it was easier for me....
My local PD also told me the same thing. I tried 2 other stations with the same result. I was confused on how filling out 3 sheets of paper rather than one was easier for me.
If you use this fill-able PDF, info entered on the first sheet automatically transfers to the other two sheets...

Thanks for that, ive never seen it before. If your meeting someone for a FTF transfer, your not exactly going to be able to walk around with a pc and printer though.

True, but you can fill in your info and any gun description info, print the set and then only manually fill in the missing info. 1/2 a loaf is better than nothing.

Can you call the state to verify that submitted FA10s were processed? I have done a few over the past two years (one buy from a total stranger) and would like to verify that all is in order. Is it possible to do this?
You have your copy, you've done your duty. Neither you nor seller are responsible for the USPO or if they spill coffee on it at CJIS!
Just keep your copy in the almost impossible to believe chance that someone would ever question it.
I have my copies going back to my first gun in the 1970s . . . info that CJIS no longer has since they trashed all the old records. Not my job to update their files or check on their file accuracy and I'm not about to take on that responsibility.
Doesn't that make you the slightest bit nervous? I have friends who take the same approach. "so long as I have it on an FA10, everything is fine."
My question would be, what if you were carrying and had said gun on your person. Now some situation occurs, and your gun is exposed to a police officer. Wouldnt you want to be sure the gun is licensed to you in their database rather than be forced to prove it with some piece of paper you have stashed away?
What of I were to suffer a fire and the docs were lost? Then I could be potentially screwed.
Bottom line, I don't want to have to defend myself legally for any reason if something went wrong with their records.

No, actually.Doesn't that make you the slightest bit nervous?
If they bring it up as an issue, I produce the FA-10. End of discussion.My question would be, what if you were carrying and had said gun on your person.

So make a copy and keep that at home. Stuff the original in your safety deposit box.What of I were to suffer a fire and the docs were lost? Then I could be potentially screwed.

Point me to the thread or educate me. What can and cannot be sold/transfered FTF (private) with an FA-10 form within the same state (hand guns/long guns). I believe you need an FFL to do an out of state transfer correct?
