I got a call for a gun trace today. Nothing unusual: check the books, pull the 4473, fax it in.
I checked the books, and there was no entry under the disposition column. Then I checked the shelf, and the gun is still there. It never left the shop. The gun went from the manufacturer to a distributor, and from there it went to us, where it's been ever since.
Naturally, there's no 4473 to send in, and I called back and left a message explaining as much. It seems odd. Has anyone else had that happen?
Furthermore, why would a trace be issued in this situation?
