Do the Feds flag you if you buy too many guns...

Only if they are "survival" can openers

Haha how true. Gunkote covered, with a "4" in the title, right?

The Feds have no idea of what guns and how many you buy, unless you buy more than 1 handgun from the same FFL in 5 business days time - then thats after the fact.. The dealer has to fill out a multi-purchase form and submit it.

You do not get flagged buy the federal NICS or state PICS for buying too many guns.

Oh, well, I guess I am flagged. Woe is me.

[Ten*K]

and what constitutes too many guns?

exactly.

although to most news reporters and Lib-tards, ONE is too many.

Do the Feds flag you if you buy too many guns in a short period of time.

I dunno about the feds. But the wife sure does!

Send a PM to fingers.... he has to be an authority on THAT questions

In that situation the word probably changes from "flag" to "flog"

Even if you buy more than 1 handgun from the same FFL in a 5 day period, it won't necessarily raise any eyebrows. As long as you have legitimate reasons for doing so, no one cares.

So what are "legitmate reasons"??

You may be a collector, you may run a firearms training school where you supply the handguns, you may be buying them for your Boy Scout/Girl Scout troop, you may be a father/grandfather buying them as gifts for your sons/grandsons, you may be a drama teacher and are in charge of buying the handguns that will be used as prop guns, you may be an independent film maker and need handguns to be used in a movie you are making. I'm not saying the list is endless, but there are many legitimate reasons for a non-FFL to be buying more than one handgun from the same FFL at one time.

Not to mention we don't need a legitimate reason. lol

Thanks for responding. I just never knew I needed a reason to buy more than one handgun at a time.

I did this once in my life. It was at Boyer's Hardware in Slatington. I bought 2 used Ruger sp101 revolvers,one 3" & one 2 1/4"....3 days apart. Allen had to fill out the paperwork because it was within 5 days.

My reason: because I wanted both of them,the price was right & I had the money. I'm not sure if that's a legitmate reason or not...but the I never heard anything from anyone. I should have bought them both the same day & saved myself the 2nd trip.

PS.......The sp101 IMO makes a great carry gun.
