I love doing them so much that I hang out at my local ffl to fill them out for other people!

Hi,
I really enjoy the procedure. I'm glad my FFL makes me fill out the paper AND complete the form online too! Fun stuff!
Thank you for your indulgence,

Actually, even though you fill out the 4473 form online, your shop still prints out a hard copy for there records…..my one shop uses iPads for there’s.
Of course you do.

The beauty of the computer version is that the information is litigable. Think thats not important? Try telling the AFT you cant read the info when the do a trace or the agent doing an inspection says he cant read it...
ALSO a dealer in Maryland got seriously jammed up a few years ago when the agents gigged him with violations because buyers put BA instead of BALTO in the county block. The computer wont let you screw that up
It also notes if you bought multiple handguns in a 7 day period, so the dealer can submit the additional form

Most all the dealers around here do it all on computer now. They just hand you a laptop and say "fill this out."
I was handed 2 today. Personally I’m used the PC version where no one wanted to steal it.

Yeah, most places here use electronic devices. I hate them.
I'd prefer paper

Ipads at our LGS. I think after a few dozen, it should be saved for answers and you just sign. No more answering again crap over and over

My LGS has entered the 21st Century. I hand over my DL and CWFL, I hit the keys on the IPAD and am done in a couple minutes. I have not spent more than 30 minutes buying a gun portal to portal in several years.

Yep I get what you’re saying. We hear that a lot but it also comes from the guys who grumble about being asked for their social security number and not wanting anyone to have their info. Sometimes you just can’t win.

Why the hate? What don’t you like?

I prefer paper myself for different reasons I won’t post on this forum. I will do the electronic version but just seems like an inconvenience. I understand it speeds it up and helps with the ATF.

I agree or if someone has a CCL that went through 2 non firearm background checks to play with them. I could get my fingerprints done and extend my FOID card every time I buy a gun but I extend it every time I do my CCL
