I do know that an FFL is required to maintain any 4473's for 20 yrs. Beyond that I lack knowledge and the gunstore is closed right now, so I can't ask them
After a 4473 has been maitained by a gun dealer for 20 years he is allowed to destoy it, yes or no?
Or, do they get shipped off to the ATF?
The ATF take control of the 4473's if they are under 20 yrs. old and a gun dealer goes out of buisness (for whatever reason i.e. bankrupt, death, loss of FFL etc...). Are they required to destroy the documents after the time limit is up?
If they are required to destoy them, how do we know that they actually do it instead of illegally keeping records? I say this because we all know what a bunch of fine, upstanding types the ATF is composed of.
