Verifying FTF Transfers

[DJF3864]

Is it possible to call in and find out how many transfers you have done in a year?

I think that I have three done this year and just wanted to verify that, I have one more available and I would like to verify that before selling a pistol I am looking to sell.

... Look at your copies of the FA-10s?



... sorry, just being logical and assuming that you're organized enough to keep a [STRIKE]file cabinet[/STRIKE]... er, [STRIKE]a drawer[/STRIKE], um, or at least a folder, with your important documents...

Sorry, sarcasm couldn't be contained...

+1 You should have them somewhere....and to me it'd be a better option to find them rather than calling CHSB...

If you aren't completely sure I would just go through a dealer before calling and wasting all my time.

You can theoretically ask for a database printout from the CHSB. I've never tried it though. I am a bit confused as to how you could lose track of how many guns you've sold this year, as the limit is only four...

I called them recently and asked they told me right away.

WOW...That suprises me. I always thought that no one ever even looked at them let along have the ability to give that quick of a specific answer...

 

[DJF3864]

I guess I should expect some of those answers.

I do have all the copies of the forms that I have from sales. I just wanted to know if you can confirm the number of sales/transfers that you have in a year.

 

[FalArAk]

I just called,you have 2 transfers left.

 

[richc]

Just curious... what happens if someone goes over four in a year? Are there penalties involved?

Cheers,

Rich

p.s. for the record I have not sold a single firearm this year... or last... or... just curious what happens if someone goes over the limit???

Up to 10 years Felony, up to $10K fine. You'd serve more time for this than for murder in MA . . . after all it is a much more serious crime!

Death by castration.....

Almost as bad as death by castration.

 

[richc]

Death by castration.....

Not again!

You mean what actually happens or what COULD happen?

What actually happens- nothing, at least according to people I've talked
to that knew someone that "abused" the system.

What could happen- if you got caught somehow- serious penalties and jail
time, probably loss of LTC, etc, etc... so therefore, it's still best to avoid
the issue altogether by complying with the laws.

Are these federal restrictions or local?
I ask because I live in Connecticut.

 

[M1911]

This thread concerns MA law, not CT.

"This" (FA-10 transfer limits) is an MA thing. Not sure what the laws are on FTFs in CT.

Also, while there may not be a federal limit on the number of private sales you can do, you don't want the BATF to think you are actually in the business of dealing in firearms without an FFL.
