[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

I used to travel a lot and play a lot of gigs. So in 2015 I had the idea of buying a RV (a 22 footer) and living and traveling in it for a few years until I sold it (I'm renting a house now). Anyways, although it was fun (and cheap if you were diligent and planned thoroughly; gotta have access to power, water, and sewage for emptying the grey and black water tanks), it caused a bit of headaches when it came to proof of residence, ESPECIALLY for things like buying a gun. Attached to my Drivers License was a California address (my moms house) but I still needed an additional proof of residence (in California you do at least), which was impossible because I didn't actually live at that address (however I would sometimes park there). One of the gun shops I went to had an employee who was perturbed that I couldn't produce an additional proof of residence. I went back and forth with him over options for a while and I got the impression that he didn't want anything to do with me, because I found out later from a buddy of mine that I could just buy a fishing license (which somehow works as an additional proof of residence). When I brought that up to the gun shop employee, he said "Yea you could do that"... I silently thought to myself "Well why didn't you tell me the first time?".🙄

[@marcusthompson7417]

We need more gun shops like you guys. Not many places will spend time to educate new gun owners about what gun might best fit their intended use. Kudos! Looking forward to more episodes.

[@CaliRob281]

[@dead_p1xl964]

If someone can't spell their name or state of residence, I question whether they are mentally capable of safely handling a firearm. That's like scary incompetent.

[@iwanalotamarijuana]

+DEAD_P1XL haha I agree, but everyone has the unalienable right to defend themselves

[@dead_p1xl964]

iwanalotamarijuana Let them buy a big stick then. If you can't spell your own name or recite your date of birth, you shouldn't be able to kill someone at a distance at will regardless of perceived 'rights'.

[@dead_p1xl964]

iwanalotamarijuana Competence to safely handle a firearm *is* a necessity to own a firearm, not being able to correctly spell your name *is* an indication you are not competent in general, and a stick *is* an appropriate allowable alternative for the people who are not competent to handle firearms. If you're one of those fucking nutjobs that thinks blind people should be allowed to carry firearms "because equality, because rights" then you're simply fucking stupid and in denial of reality, and there's not much else to say to you.

[@WhoIsJoeShmoe]

Forget mentally capable, more like whether they're a felon or not. I work at the gun counter in a sporting goods store, and if someone is filling out a 4473 and needs to look at their driver's license to write their address down I find it a little unusual but excusable. But if someone "can't spell" their name or "doesn't know" their date of birth, that would reek of something highly illegal to me. Should I believe that this person has gotten through their life, including any schooling, obtaining that driver's license from the state DMV, or the work they likely do to afford the gun, without having their freaking name and birthday committed to memory? It would seem like they were impersonating someone else or lying about their age in order to obtain a firearm that they presumably couldn't otherwise, and if I were to suspect any fishy business like that I'd have to deny the sale. Very sketchy.

[@dead_p1xl964]

WhoIsJoeShmoe I really don't care if they're a felon or not. Some felons are bad people, some are not. Having committed a crime in the past doesn't mean you are only going to commit crimes in the future. What you are describing is either fraud (representing yourself as someone you're not) or a straw purchase (buying the weapon for someone else who can't legally own it). Both are already very illegal. I really think it's more important that people who can't spell their name or give the correct date of birth don't have guns than that some guy who got pulled over and charged with assaulting an officer for spitting on a rude cop. Or someone who got locked up for violating probation on a child support charge. There's just no blanket "They were charged with a felony, they're a bad person." There *is* a blanket "They can't spell their name or remember when they were born, they're an idiot or mentally disabled".

If a gun shop loses their FFL due to a 4473 form issue then they're bust.

Question: If I were to come into your shop, fill out the form, and you saw that I answered 'yes' to question 11-f, would you feel bad about me not getting a gun that day? I would appear normal, intelligent, knowledgeable about guns, gun safety, reloading and gun lore. Nothing in my demeanor or bearing would suggest that 12 years ago I had been under a 14 day court-ordered involuntary psychiatric hold. Going to that hospital saved my life. Losing my gun rights suck, but I see the wisdom in this case. I respect you guys and the work you are doing. Thanks to you, I get to shoot guns by proxy!

[@pirobot668beta]

I just told you that I have a condition that makes me potentially dangerous, and you say I am a p*ssy because I choose [note the choice part] not to have deadly weapons at hand? I can see that questions of safety, self-honesty and public responsibility are jokes on this board.

[@pirobot668beta]

I am starting to think you just might be far more dangerous than I am. I know my limitations, and like an adult, do not foolishly try to live beyond them. The good ole boys know this as "Never drive faster than your Angels can fly" You seem to think that anyone not as strong as you doesn't deserve to live. Sociopaths tend to think that way. BTW, I gave up 1911 Kimber, Gp-100, HK-91, Browning Citori and a Tokarev. Reloaing supplies for all the above, 5000+ rounds. Voluntarily. What have you ever scarified to make your life better?

[@MW-tv2xj]

Darwin was a sociopath? Intelligence is received as evil, sure but it doesn't make it the same. I didn't even kill Taliban bro, I didn't back down but I just never had the chance. I'm a firm believer in euthanasia, if you aren't making our race stronger and better you shouldn't reproduce. So in a sense you shouldn't have been born, it's sounds mean but if our race is to get rid of insane people killing others, it doesn't start with the weapons it starts with you.

[@pirobot668beta]

The original point I posted on was this: some questions on that most hated of all forms are not 'negotiable'. I agree that some of the disqualifiers are debatable, some just stupid. What fugitive has ever been caught by being honest? Not all Felons are violent... Not all protection orders are legit... Addicts can be treated... But question 11-f, dealing with "..mental defects.." "..court ordered treatment.." and such is a good one. I know, this makes me the peak of Evil to agree with the Fed, but have you read question 11-f? Would you feel good about giving a weapon to a person who has had an involuntary lock-up in a mental hospital? Would you ant an armed psych patient as a neighbor? I wouldn't! Any reasonable, responsible person would feel sick at the idea of an 8 time hospitalized person in control of a gun. I do, and I am that guy! I sold my guns voluntarily after getting out of Hospital. No big-bad gummint came and snatched 'em. I was surprised the Doctors didn't even ask if I had weapons at home! Is being honest about your limitations have to come with a death penalty, MW? BTW, I ran over 12,000 round through my GP-100, competed in Practical Pistol, all manner of bowling-pin/popper shoots and the like. 5000+ rounds on the 1911, 1500+ rounds HK-91 and 2500+ rounds Tokarev. Not once did carry any gun as 'protection'.

[@crcornish]

Howdy from Upstate NY. Pistol permit holders here have to do a background check for ANY new rifle and all handgun purchases.

@@Ghost1gx knowing how to use a weapon has nothing to do with your education level or ability to spell your name. there are still many cultures, and individuals in places such as america that simply don't celebrate or care about ones birthday, it's not a hard thing to forget unless you're constantly demanded to repeat it there are many individuals still alive today that can't spell their name that at one point served in the military, hell there are medics that can't (wee serving 10 years and only learning the basics during a fight with the VA to get benefits) using "education" as a measuring stick beyond one's ability to use the weaponry in question is absurd. you don't know the inner workings of the rifle, nor can you tell me precisely why the measurements used were used, or why materials in question were determined to be the best compromise even going outside of that, "basic" education varies not only from nation to nation but from state to state..even city to city within a given state the differences are vast even in high powered careers that you'd openly put your life betting that they can save your life or do a job..not all are particularly well educated outside of their particular profession because they don't need it either way, it's far less dangerous than our military training gang members and their tactics ending up on the streets to be used

[@wcanaday234]

The form, itself, is not exactly 'standard English'. I have a pretty broad vocabulary and spent my high school summers reading the compiled laws of Michigan ... and still I can see room to make errors on this form. An ex-wife filed a false accusation of domestic violence. That is now illegal to do in Michigan. But, if I just noticed the words "domestic violence", I would have checked the "yes" box. Fortunately, noting that the form was worded in 'legalese', I paid close attention to the exact wording of the questions.

[@piquazhang]

The thing that scares me is that you would someone's rights away because of education level. The fact that you automatically jump to the conclusion that someone who is poorly educated is a bad and evil person is one of the most shortsighted and ignorant things I've ever seen. Especially with your haughty delivery. Who the fuck are you to judge someone who may have grown up in extreme poverty or had a learning disability that couldn't be addressed at the time? You are the very fucking reason that we fight so hard to keep guns. You are the reason we help rural 60 year olds fill out their firearms forms. You stand for an elitist paradigm that is totally contrary to freedom or reason. You are the type of person who threw mentally handicapped people into insane asylums during the 60s. I highly suggest you rethink or maybe even think about the shit you believe in. You and people like you are Baby Hitler's in the making. I guarantee you that smart people have done more harm to others than dumb people ever have. What a fucking joke you and your opinions are. You fascist pig.

[@Imightberiding]

piquazhang Wow! You sure told me. If you read my comment, you would have noticed that I made no mention as to one's level of education. I was speaking to a basic level of intelligence that is reasonably expected of those who acquire a license or permit to operate, own or otherwise presume personal responsibility whereby either themselves or others may ultimately be placed in harms way or worse. Be it a vehicle, gun, plane, ship or business that can all pose threats in different ways. I myself am a prime example of the countless who have not been afforded the higher levels of education that more affluent people have handed to them. Again, no reference was made on my part as to any person's educational achievements or lack thereof. Just a little common sense as to those who might not be intellectually capable of realizing the full responsibility of gun ownership.

[@Imightberiding]

W Canaday A very good reason for having the intellectual ability & capacity to thoroughly read & fully understand a document & whatever responsibilities that may come with it, prior to signing one's name. The complete understanding, comprehension & fulfillment of the responsibilities of any contract are of much more significance & importance than the ability to mark an "X" on the dotted line.

[@Sarthur84]

That is something that has been changed. The DoJ / ATF has said that the person who is wanting the gun, MUST be the person filling out the 4473, and MUST be the person signing & dating #16 & #17 validating the form. So, if you have a physical disability that prevents you from being able to write; then you are NOT allowed to have someone else complete the form. This policy has been to the Fed. court system, and found that since the core of the 4473 is a test; if the person does not have the physical ability to fill out a simple, then they do not have the physical ability to safely handle a firearm. I too have seen people fill out several forms before they got it right. I have also had to turn customers away, because they could not complete the form on their own.

I'm from Britain and hold a firearms license, obviously our gun laws are much more restrictive but when it comes to purchasing a firearm I simply show the gun shop assistant my license and buy the gun, no messing about filling in forms at the shop itself.

[@lordofyesteryear]

Oh wow the black guy buying a high point... come on son.

[@2advocate897]

probably used it to rob the wafflehouse the next day lol

Clip is a strip of metal with no springs which holds rounds, and you push the rounds into the guns magazine and you take the clip off the gun onece all the rounds have been pushed in, it's a quicker way of loading am magazine (it sometimes does go into the gun like an M1 Garand, confusing yes). A Magazine is a piece of metal which contains a spring which contains the rounds which attaches, or is inbuilt into the firearm. The spring on the magazine pushes the rounds into the chamber.

OMG you are so right. I sell guns in Louisiana and It's amazing what I see on an everyday basis.

[@Rohirn]

I wish i lived in Georgia just so i could go to your store to purchase my first gun you guys seem like your really on the up and up when it comes to your customers and running an honest business

[@milesbennetdyson5]

You can view the form online.

[@JackRABBITslim27]

Man I wish Gun shops were this friendly, informative & straight forward here in California. Cali gun shops are beyond paranoid even thoe there's layer after layer of laws to prevent someone buying a weapon. It helps all gun owners when shops make sure a citezen gets something they understand and no how to operate.

[@MasterSh4ke]

And to save you the trouble in case you were wondering it's legal to buy a handgun once 18, atleast here in Va, but you can't get it from any ffl directly. I resorted, being 18, to a purchase from a friend for cash. I can't carry openly, without people getting scared, or concealed until 21 but you can still have the gun any other form and pick up a permit once 21.

[@silveradotoomuch]

Love this video. My dad is handicapped as well, but can do anything he sets his mind to.

[@RezaQin]

I am so glad each gun I have ever purchased was done on the computer.

[@Lord_Meeks]

Lol "we sold a gun to a blind man" 🤣🤣🤣😭😎

[@Skattles54]

I'm so glad I found these guys. And the community around here is awesome. Thank you, so much hahahahaha. :)

[@thedouglaspodcast]

7:50 wow.. ten years ago people said, “well things are getting so bad I need a gun” Can’t wait to watch your recent videos 😭 things have gotten a thousandddd+ times worse since this video.. gotta see what y’all are saying now..

[@thedouglaspodcast]

Oh wow you have over 2 million followers 😍 content gotta be littt lol I’m following

[@Iwatchtomuch]

I agree with everything you said. The 4473 is a pretty easy form to fill out if you can just read!

[@brianmontminyii952]

In Vermont we need to fill this form out (assuming same form/ questions for every state) every time we buy a gun, no permits here. The most common mistake I have seen (filling these out and other customers) is reading County as Country. I have also done an electronic version and would rather do a paper version as the electronic version messed up the formatting on my SS# at the end which resulted in needing to do a paper copy anyway. I can use a computer/ touchscreen pretty well so I can only imagine how others who are not used to using this type of technology everyday would have issues not only filling the form out correctly but using a touchscreen to fill it in.

[@LAV2147SSgt]

Thanks for maintaining the standards...it keeps us all in check

[@JEMANF]

RIP Barry, such a cool guy

[@DaytonaRoadster]

its got to be a grip to both the signer and the shop, here in GA ( and know you guys are part of this too) it seems every shop has a different way they want it filled out. Most places however are pretty good about telling you want they want, and they check it over to make sure you dont screw up

[@Julius44bc]

"Are you a fugitive from justice?" A friend of mine told me he once had a customer answer "yes" to that.

[@Sovek86]

yeah, had an issue with this recently buying my savage 64. Saw it at Academy for $120, been wanting a .22lr for forever (or a rifle in general) and finding 1,600 rounds for $40 convinced me. So I go through the hassle, and now SA has it all electronic now. Well the issue was my address. It was correct but I was supposed to have it filled out like whats on my SCDL, meh. Still though, if you cant fill that out correctly, you don't need to be buying a firearm.

[@MikeMalkowski]

I have a close friend that lost his FFL in Michigan last year over what one would think were minor paperwork errors. Very rural area, only gun shop around, 2 counties that were the primary customers and lots of people would abbreviate the county name if you didn't specify to them it needed to be fully spelled out. The domestic violence question got a few people too...

[@drmaudio]

This form is freely available on the ATF website. Just search 4473 and it comes right up.

[@RezaQin]

Man, I filled out mine on a laptop. I love Texas too!

[@LPXDproductions]

When i was working at my Local Gun Store i would tell the customer take as much time with this form as you need

[@dovahspy9813]

"We're not supposed to allow people to see this form" Especially if someone is buying a gun

[@kyle.2344]

Once again, God bless you guys for putting up with all this

[@MagsZ4U]

I live in PA and here we have to fill out that form regardless of whether or not we have a CCW Permit. And I worked with the State Police taking care of the communications here, I own a PA CCW, Utah CCW and Arizona CCW and still I have to fill out that form.

[@lordexmouth1217]

Hey, check out FFL Tools from Lewis Tactical, makes it a lot easier to spot and fix mistakes on the 4473, plus you don't have to call in for the background check, it is done online, often in a matter of seconds.

[@DeuceVideoHD]

It's on the ATF website for download, it doesn't matter what state you live in.

[@douglaspeart512]

Hi, You should see the paper work we have to fill out down here in Victoria Australia.We have to do a safty training night and you have to do two test. The frist test has about 30 questions on it and you can get 3 wrong. The second test has ten questions on it and you have to all ten right. Then you have fill out a form for a police check to get a license and that will take no sooner then 30 days to get it back. License last for 5 years then you have to fill out a renewal form. Then to buy your first gun it takes another 30 days. So when your first getting into shooting it can take up to 2 months to get your rifle. And thats only for a single action rifle. Simi, pump action and handguns are a different license again.

[@plaguedoctor880]

We got it easy down here in Louisiana. Walk into bass pro. 10-15 mins of paperwork and you walk Home with a gun. That's my experience with long guns.

[@FBHSswimmer2006]

Florida is similar to Georgia when buying a gun without a Concealed Carry Permit with one exception, there is a mandatory 3 business day waiting period before you can pick up your gun. But if you do have your concealed then you can get it that day.

[@heyyouoverthere96]

It's a government form and easily downloadable from the ATF's website. People can download it, look at the form all they want and memorize the questions.

[@magnis1]

the 4473 when combined with the FFL log book is a registration. on the 4473 you put all of your info. your social security number is optional. but lets face it your drivers licence number is there so they know who you are. now it doesn't go on the 4473 what you bought. but your info is added to the log book right next to the guns serial number. so all they have to do is pull the 4473 and match it to your info in the log book.

[@straightto8]

Problem I have with the 4473 is lack of space to write some information, no abriviations, but they let us put the number of the year instead of spelling it out, we used to do it like that, but now they will let you put the number of month, etc. In CA we need to have a HSC, Hand Gun Safety Certificate, also proof of residency and of course drivers license, not sure if there's a deal for weapons permits, but we have the 10 day wait and they are holding folks to 11 days.

[@WCGwkf]

you can look at a 4473 online in pdf

[@irishhockey1]

You need a permit to purchase in Minnesota for all pistols and semi automatic rifles

[@Fanzysam]

Cool gun law you have over there in Georgia! Here in Finland we did get tighter laws on 2011, witch included this: An applicant for a firearm licence in Finland must pass background checks which consider criminal and mental records and this is done by your local police department and also required to prove genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example, hunting, target shooting, gun collecting, employment requirements.... then you can have allmost any gun you want for your particular purpose.

[@ivansexe1769]

What you said about the blind guy."Here a bump in the night, I'm sure he could put six shots through a doorway." OMG! I haven't laughed that hard at KZbin in a while!

[@sonick808]

Guys, you can download the 4473 from the BATF website, civilian portion. I do agree 10000% that noone should be coddled regarding the important questions, but there's nothing secret about the 4473. Love your vids.

[@erp65]

I'd trust that blind guy with a gun more than some of the clowns I've seen at the range.

[@MasterSh4ke]

Not as long as your not a felon or under 18( for an assault weapon). An FFL is a licensed gun dealer so basically any store won't sell whats not "allowed".

[@butlegeo]

You can download the 4473 as well as almost any other ATF form from the ATF website.

[@shootaglock]

@417BoyWonder the bad thing is its usually the opposite way around. Ive met a lot of gun salesman behind the counter who seem intimidated or mad if you know more than them or question their knowledge or statements. They usually are the gunshop commandos.

[@TFMTraining]

I had to read most of those questions 3-4 times to make sure I understood the meaning. Some of the questions are worded in a very tricky way.
