and you may believe what you will regarding the information contained on the 4473 & the FFL's bound book.
alas, Gutshot i am sorry to inform you, but are not an agent for the FFL ~ not in any legal way, shape, or form as you do "...not have the authority to direct management and policies for which the FFLicense is being applied." (923(d)(1)(B). Employees are not considered Responsible Persons by ATF as they are functioning under their boss' business/personal FFL credentials and business insurance and do not direct management or policies either! FFL's must notify ATF, in writing, of any changes to Responsible Persons status on their FFL.
as for my concern for your well being, i am truly flattered you might believe that, but if you will re-read what i wrote: am actually concerned for the unsuspecting FFL who might have to defend themselves to the ATF from frivolous commentary about their illegal business practices stated on a public forum. specifically provisions of ATF's 5300.4, dtd 2014:
478.94: Verification shall be established by the transferee furnishing to the transferor a certified copy of the transferee’s license and by such other means as the transferor deems necessary:
478.95: The license furnished to each person licensed under the provisions of this part contains a purchasing certification statement...
Why do you continue with this trollish behavior? You have done this repeatedly for a long time. You cite some document to support your post and post a portion of the document that appears to support what you have written, but in fact you cut off the portion of the document that contradicts your post. Do you think that no one else can find the document and read it in full? Here is the portion of 478.94 that immediately follows what you have posted and that you left out (intentionally, I presume):
Provided, That it shall
not be required (a) for a transferee who
has furnished a certified copy of its license
to a transferor to again furnish such certified
copy to that transferor during the term
of the transferee’s current license, (b) for
a licensee to furnish a certified copy of its
license to another licensee if a firearm is
being returned either directly or through
another licensee to such licensee and (c)
for licensees of multilicensed business organizations
to furnish certified copies of
their licenses to other licensed locations
operated by such organization: Provided
further, That a multilicensed business organization
may furnish to a transferor, in
lieu of a certified copy of each license, a
list, certified to be true, correct and complete,
containing the name, address, license
number, and the date of license expiration
of each licensed location operated
by such organization, and the transferor
may sell or otherwise dispose of firearms
as provided by this section to any licensee
appearing on such list without requiring
a certified copy of a license therefrom. A
transferor licensee who has the certified
information required by this section may
sell or dispose of firearms to a licensee for
not more than 45 days following the expiration
date of the transferee’s license.
The ATF will allow the use of their "eZ Check" system, manitained by the ATF, to allow licensed dealers to verify the validity another dealers licenses. You can read about that system here: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/ffl-ez-check-application
