Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Form 4473, and is it the same as a background check?

The Form 4473 is the ATF's Firearms Transaction Record, a questionnaire collecting buyer information. It is not the background check itself; the FBI conducts the actual background check after the form is submitted by the dealer.

Do you need to aim a shotgun?

Yes, you absolutely must aim a shotgun. It requires precision, much like throwing a rock, and does not fire a 'wall of bullets' indiscriminately. Accuracy tests confirm this at various distances.

What are the possible outcomes of a firearm background check?

After submitting Form 4473, the FBI's background check can result in three outcomes: 'proceed,' meaning you can buy the gun; 'delay,' requiring more time for verification; or 'denied,' meaning you cannot legally purchase the firearm.

What are common issues with pump-action shotguns?

Pump-action shotguns can be difficult to operate under pressure and are prone to jamming if short-stroked. Using lower-quality shotguns may also increase the likelihood of malfunctions.
