Customer and ATF agent played phone tag for several days and my customer finally left a message "leave me alone". They did.....until January.
In January, ATF traced an AR recovered in Mexico to this same customer (wasn't one of my transfers). ATF again contacted him and asked that he meet at their local office where they handed him a "cease and desist" letter. Basically they felt he was engaging in the business of dealing firearms without a license.....now he cannot sell or transfer firearms to anyone but a licensed dealer.
Unless there is more information the cease and desist letter does not mean he can now only sell to a licensed dealer, it is just a record that indicates he has been made aware that an individual cannot buy and sell firearms for profit. There is no legal force behind it, just kind of a 'written warning' that if you are buying and selling for profit you must get a license. Buying and selling to upgrade your collection on the other hand is perfectly legal and is even stated so on the ATF's website.
