Time for my first renewal. The form asks for a count of how many I purchased and how many I sold. I didn't sell any but I did return one because it was missing the extractor. How would you count this?
If you logged it in and logged it out back to the vendor I would consider it sold.
Another question on this: Do I count all guns logged into my bound book, or only those I purchased using my license (in other words, do I include the guns I purchased in Maryland not using my C&R?)
Depends. This is how I understand it.
If you purchased a C&R firearm using a 4473 and not your C&R, you still have to log it into your acquisition. Doesn't matter, because you still hold that license.
If you purchased a C&R firearm prior to having your C&R license, you do not have to log it in to your acquisition. If you sell that firearm, you need to log it into your disposition.
IANAL
I knew I had to log them -- and did so. I ask because the form asks: "7a. How many firearms have you acquired with your firearms license over the past 3 years?"
This doesn't sound like a legal question since it they keep this information they have a database of firearm ownership.

Whatever is logged in (and out of) the book, IMHO - if it ever came to it, that's what they would look at to cross-check and it is a "stand-alone" document.
