The down side is that over the next 3 years that $34 fee is gonna cost you ALOT of money!!

That would be the downside.

It has cost me quite a bit to have mine.

Better spent on guns than crack I suppose. And the fed approves of it, for now.

Just curious, but are there regulations covering C&R licensees which dictate how one must store one's guns?

negative, local law has charge over that. Simply reporting, that the only concern. All reporting goes in your bound book your required to have.

No real downdside other than, as already pointed out, you will probably buy more guns. Record keeping is minimal. I keep more info in my personal records. Some sellers will not honor it and there is no requirement that they do so. Most sellers are ok with it. Makes my life a lot simpler here in Illinois. Cheap even if you do not use it much. Love mine. If you are ever audited you have the option of going to their office. To me the less they know about what I have, the better. On my 3rd renewal and have never heard a word from the BATF yet. I just hope that the anti gunners never figure out what it is. Most BATF people don't know much about it. It has never showed up on the radar of the anti's yet. lets keep this one quiet.

Texas C&R's get audited by ATF frequently.  Actual premise visit.  Some folks have been buying with the C&R and reselling immediately.  And with all the gun crime in Mexico they have been checking all avenues for firearm purchase.  A few weekend gun runners are making it bad for the rest of us.  This is something isolated here on the border states.

I have a C&R, and yes, I have bought more guns as a result. On the other hand $34/3 years is cheap insurance in case you see something that you have to have. ;)

I have had my C&R for about 15 years. They are right about spending too much money. That got a way from me for a while. It did allow me to get some nice pieces to play with for 4 or 5 years each, and pass on to another collector or two after my interests changed. I was audited once so far by BATFE. The agent was pleased with my paperwork. The inspection actually went well. He told me of some bad paperwork and non-eligible item encounters. The only real problem I had actually had, had to do with the way Connecticut does (not) do things. The agent had a list of every non-C&R gun that had been registered to me in CT. Most of them I no longer had. CT apparently adds new transfers to your list, but never removes them when you transfer ownership to some one else, even though they are notified. I really never figured out why the agent had that list, as he was there to check out my C&R guns and paperwork.

Interesting to note that with all the new restrictive laws that have come down here in CT, there are still specific exemptions pertaining to C&R's.

As an aside, if one decides to drop one's C&R there is no requirement to send the bound book in to ATF. Just shred it. Then if you decide you want one later, reapply and start over.
