Before you sell that suppressor with a 4473... | coreWEEKLY

On October 9, the ATF announced it will no longer require advance approvals or registration for suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and "any other weapons." This is a positive step forward that removes a longstanding federal hurdle for firearms retailers.

Because this change comes through federal enforcement policy rather than a change in statute, state-level rules will still determine how gun stores process these sales. This week, we walk through what the ATF's guidance changes, what remains in place, and why two states can treat the exact same transaction very differently.

The ATF's announcement that Form 4s are no longer mandatory for suppressors is encouraging news for the entire industry. It clears away substantial federal red tape, though how it works in practice still depends on where your shop is located.

Because a number of states still tie lawful possession to federal registration, taking a moment to review state-level rules ensures your team can take advantage of the update with confidence.

With compliance under a microscope, your staff needs an airtight workflow. This guide breaks down the FFL Module from the ground up, showing your team how to manage location-specific bound books, log daily acquisitions and dispositions, and process Form 4473s seamlessly without missing a beat.
