FFL Sig. date???

Hawkshaw
Hello----Is there any law or policy, that dictates how recent the date on a signed FFL should be. I usually get concerened over a month or so. When you, as a selling FFL, receive the FFL from the dealer on the receiving end, and has dated the COPY OCT. 1, 08, do you accept it? In the 2 1/2 years since it was signed, he could have died, been convicted of a fellony, lost his license for other reasons. What are you FFL's doing. In this case, I don't think I will accept it, and ask for a new one. THX HAWKSHAW PS The expiration date is still valid.

    As long as it has not expired and is OK in EZ Check I am good with it.

    The regulations only state that the license be signed and makes no mention of a time limit on the signature.

    Contact the FFL directly if you can, to try and verify he hasn't left us, and still willing to receive the gun.

    ...he could have died...
    ...been convicted of a fellony...
    ....lost his license for other reasons....

    Any of those could have happened five minutes after he signed the license or two years after he signed the license....it frankly does not matter.

    If you fail to verify the validity of the license you are playing with fire. It takes two minutes to use the ATF FFL EzCheck.

    I scanned my signed and dated FFL over a year ago and stored it in my computer. When I need to email a ffl I just email a copy of that one as an attachment. I've sent it to over 50 dealers without a complaint. As long as the ffl is still valid it shouldn't matter how long ago it was dated.
