C&R Qusetion

[GC Dude]

I recieved my C&R license back in May with a letter saying they were going to be mailing publications and an intial supply of forms. I never recieved anything so I called the number. The person I talked to seem to understand what I needed, but all I got was another apllication.
Does anyone know if they are still sending out a "starter kit" or is there a local office that maybe be able to help with what I need?

Mine was delayed so far after receiving the license that I thought they forgot about it LOL

Starter Kit! You can not trust those guys! They will tell you anything you want to hear and promise the world! After 10 years I just gave up.

I never got a "Starter Kit" and some of the books took a long time to show up. The state laws are now on a CD. The state laws are always behind. We will get the 2009 laws sometime this year, in 2010.

The "starter kit" is just a copy of the ATFe rules and regs. As far as forms, the only form you may need is for change of address or stolen/lost firearms. 98% of what they send you is for FFL01. If you want a copy of the CD or forms let me know and I can mail/email them to you.

Well you also need that silly little handout that you're supposed to give to a non-licensed buyer of any C&R handgun you sell... but that one you can download.

When mine came, it was a copy of the federal regs, the state reg's CD, and a wad of forms.... half of the forms they meant to send had a Xerox insert to tell me they were out of them.

What do you guys use as a bound book?

What do you guys use as a bound book?

I printed several forms using Excel and put them into a binder like this one:

ACCO Pressboard Side Hinge Report Covers

I then used heavy tape over the tabs so they could not be opened easly.

I bought the bound book from Brownells.
BROWNELLS : FIREARMS RECORD BOOKS - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools

For a Bound Book some friends and I use a Composition Book. Yes the old School Composition Book and hand write the pages in. If you do a lot of buying and selling it can get old. If I had a PC when I first got mine I would of done something on it in Excel and printed off pages for a binder like AFA1CY did. Something I still might do!

I found a PDF online and printed it out 20 times at work... stuck it in a notebook along with my original C&R and the copies for signing.

Thanks for the help. I was under the impression that you had to use a special bound book.

Do you have to list the guns you had before you got your license?
Do you have to list any guns in your bound book that aren't C&R eligible?

 

[boozoo]

no, and no.

But you DO have to list all C&R eligible guns you buy now, whether you used your C&R or not. I.e., if you go buy an Arisaka at the gun show this weekend from someone FTF, you would still need to enter that in your bound book.
