Well ATF Surprised me this week. I was woken up at 0900 on the dot to a local ATF agent wanting answers. Seems that I just happen to be the #1 handgun dealer in SC since May who has sold the most Multiple Sale of Handguns. Just for folks that don't know what I am speaking of if you buy more than one handgun in 5 business days I have to report you to ATF on a multiple sale form and they keep a database in VA that compiles names with guns. Then every Friday they send the top 10 buyers to the local agents to investigate to make sure these folks aren't buying online and then selling at flea markets or on the street.
Well one of my customers is a very old retired millionaire that enjoys collecting guns. To date since last Oct he has bought about 250 guns. Never shot a gun before last Aug and then he went crazy on gunbroker. 97 handguns to be exact because ATF told me Thursday I had sent up 97 on multiple sale forms. The agent said he was the number one buyer in SC by a long shot so they had to investigate. I explained to them that he was def not a dealer and that he would let them come into his home and he would gladly show them all 250 guns. He was satisfied with that plus my customer called him after the fact and invited him over. The agent told him now that he knew the story behind the purchases they would remove him from the email list every week and he could buy as many as he wanted.
So I guess the question is...Is it good that they are checking up on these guys trying to stop street dealers or do you feel they were infringing on his 2nd amendment right? I am sorta happy they called myself but I was just curious why it took since may and 97 guns to call.
