A filled-in ATF Form 3310.4 example: a dealer reports two handguns sold to one buyer

ATF Form 3310.4 example filled out, example: a dealer reports two handguns sold to one buyer
A licensed dealer, Alex Sample, fills out ATF Form 3310.4. A pistol and a revolver go to one unlicensed buyer on the same day. The picture shows page 1, and none of its entries is real. The buyer is Not Hispanic or Latino and White, so no other ethnicity or race box is ticked. No earlier multiple sale is connected, so No is ticked in Item 2c and the Date is left blank because there is no earlier sale to date. Nothing goes in Item 2d because the sale was made at the shop, not at a gun show or other qualifying event. Only two firearms are sold, so rows 3 to 6 of Item 3 stay empty. The buyer acts as an individual, so Item 13 stays empty. The dealer forwards Copy 2 to the county sheriff on the day of the sale. Nothing goes in Item 15 because there is nothing more to report.
