I thought he was referring to the coupon needed for each purchase. Which, if I got that right, requires all of the information on the gun including serial number. So, if someone gave false information to the person who is responsible for issuing a coupon, wouldn't it be perjury?
A decenct shop will refund the money. Since it had not yet been trasferred, it has not be converted to a new gun.
You only file for a permit once, and that takes time - though NY has a speedy permit that requires them to give you a status update with 6 months of application. Subsequent acquisitions are done with an "issued on the spot" purchase coupon.
