Typo on C&R

N3uka · Jan 21, 2014

Received my license the other day. Noticed a misprint on my address. Someone mistyped and put a u in place of k in my street name.

I called fflc and they advised that I need to keep a copy and return original with request to correct it. When I asked if I can still use for a purchase I had planned she stated she couldn't say but implied she didn't think so. She seemed stumped how I even got the letter with the misprint in delivery address :rolleyes:

Any thoughts? I was planning a purchase and can't imagine they are going to be quick on returning my license.

Thanks

This is the same Govt that wants to be in charge of your health care. :sad20:

My thoughts are these;

-You have a C & R license now issued to you by BATFE;
-It has a typo error only, that does not invalidate the license;
-To use it for a FTF purchase will not imply any attempt at fraudulent use;
-It will be a problem for online sales, since the vendor will only send to the address on the license.

Just my opinion, IANAL

Call the ATF center in WV and ask about it. They'll probably send a new one out soon enough.

House number error... or zip code error. I can imagine... but a letter on street name... ?!?

Just thinking out loud.

I agree with this. Face to face purchases should be fine but avoid using it online until you get a new one.

I had the same thing happen to me when I renewed mine last year. I contacted them and they told me not to use the c&r with the error on it. I had a new one a week or two later.

Thoughts on what? The only address allowed for shipment or transfer is the one on your Federal Firearms License. If you represent the address as yours in F2F transactions, it's a felony.

I fail to see what the question is.

Sorry you got effed by the Gee, but you need to wait until you get a corrected copy.

This sort of chicanery is the exact thing that anti-gun douchebags look for as examples of reasons to take away our rights. Let's not add more fuel to their fire.

That's what I needed to know. Now to hope they don't take too long for correction.

My faith is somewhat restored. Before I did as instructed on phone and mail back paperwork for correction, I figured I would send an email to check if a better option was available.

A couple hours after I sent the email I received a phone call from a nice lady apologizing for the error and advising she corrected it and mailed the replacement. I should receive the corrected license within 5 to 7 days. When I receive it I should just shred the incorrect one.

Corrected license received today.

I will give them credit for fixing it quickly once I got to right person.
