4473 form

[ronlglock]

I dont see how thats better. When ordering online, I dont go to the FFL until after the BG check. They let me know I am clear, then I drive up to sign, give them $20 and take the firearm. On their end, I would imagine its easier to search the e4473, get the date, then reference the hard copy if needed.

If you are in CA, you just raised a big red flag.

I think you ought to read the 4473 stem to stern. Section B clearly states "Must Be Completed Personally By Transferee/Buyer". And, that is not after after the background check.

I was wondering how the FFL knows the person completing the form is the person that comes in signs/pays.. granted when they are signing/paying at that point they are still signing under penalty of perjury...maybe that's how they see it as being legit. However, that's well after the background check is completed in the scenario described.

His location says Idaho. I assume he's over there.

No offense, but I really don't think you understand the accepted process nor the potential gravity of sidestepping the normal process.
If you are based in Idaho it might be best to communicate with other Idaho FFL's regarding that states process rather that getting involved with what is the norm in CA.

You’re trolling.

My comment was about NICS checks being performed over the phone. Ive never had it done over the phone. There seems to be a whole lot of doubt of NICS checks happening online. My past 6 transfers have been e4473 (big5, impact guns, home ffl) Im amazed.

Im aware of that. There was a comment stating in other states, a phone call is made to perform a NICS check.

Not many here in CA would know that or care one way or the other and hardly anyone from out of state joins this forum.

I'll keep it simple:
1. In CA we don't use the NICS process.
2. Our DOJ issues numbers which are used in lieu of NICS numbers.
3. Our CA DOJ has different requirements than other states, which is neither good or bad.
4. Best to concern yourself with what is required by Idaho law (and Federal law). That should keep you busy enough.
