4473 Question
I have a question related to the PICS and NICS.
When you fill out the 4473, how important it the County of residence question? I've purchased 3 firearms recently. One I had put down Westmoreland county because I thought that's where I lived...BUT then I went a couple months later and bought another, and when I put my address in, it AUTOMATICALLY set the County as Fayette on the computer 4473 form. So I left it as Fayette assuming that the computer program was right and I was wrong the first time. Since then any firearms I bought I have used Fayette County.
Also, I recently looked through all my record of sales for the guns I bought, and one doesnt even have a county printed on the form? (That's the one the computer automatically set it to fayette)
I guess I'm basically asking what I should do? I dont want to be made a criminal and get a visit from the alphabet bois for living nearly right smack-dab on the border of two counties and going with the county the computer told me while filling out the form.
Thanks!

Re: 4473 Question
This link takes you to southern Westmoreland Co. on Google Maps:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/We...4b173eaa8a0232
Enlarge it, or otherwise manipulate it to find where your home is on the map, being mindful that the red line is the county line. Your location says Mt. Pleasant, the entirety of which lies within Westmoreland. But you may live outside the Mt. Pleasant borough limits but your mailing address is still Mt. Pleasant.
HTH,

Re: 4473 Question
The system created for the form autofills my county, and last time I checked my pay stubs, it doesn't tell me exactly which county my stolen money goes to.
You'd think for trying to do something right people would be a little less condescending, but hey, that's the internet I guess.

Re: 4473 Question
You were issued an approval number for those firearm purchases/transfers. As of now, any paperwork issue is on the FFL or PICS. Fuggedaboudit. At worst, the transfering FFL may call or mail you for a clarification following a BATFE compliance audit of his records, but I doubt it.
My earlier post is more concerned about your future transfers. Find out where you truly live so that future 4473s and SP4-113s have the correct entry for "county."
