ATF Form 4 Transferee Necessity Statement - Question 13
We get asked about question 13 on the ATF Form 4 paperwork all the time. What do you put in for my reason in question 13? What many people will write for their reasons are generally one of the two following responses:
ALL LAWFUL PURPOSES or INVESTMENT AND ALL OTHER LAWFUL PURPOSES
Both of the above are valid responses to use for question 13 and is up to you to which on you want to use. Question 13 is below (taken from the current ATF Form 4). We have also, included the the instruction from the the appendix of the ATF Form 4 document for your reference.
