• • • The dealer that completes your firearms transfer will be the one to actually maintain these items for their records.
    • When we ship firearms to other FFLs, an entry is made into our Acquisitions & Depositions Book.  This entry contains the information of the dealer that we are shipping your firearm(s) to, not the customer.
