I'm still confused. If registration isn't required, why register?
...or is there a problem with the two counties if you don't register
it? Here people get "registered" (CCL) not guns. For some reason I
had to fill out a yellow sheet for my last gun purchase (a month
ago), though.

The yellow sheet was ATF Form 4474. It, and the informtion on it,
stays with the seller unless and until he goes out of business.

Sure but there wasn't any need to fill it out.

In my state, and a few others, if you have a CHL (CCL), the dealer
does NOT make the call to the NICS to verify you are permitted to
buy a gun.

They're not supposed to have to here, either, nor fill out the yellow
sheet (which isn't yellow, here).

Er, no. Form 4473 (not 4474 as previously thought) is required to be
completed before a Federal Firearms License holder (the dealer) can sell the
weapon.

GA and FL, anyway, are supposed to have a route around that with their CCL
process.

Code of Federal Regulations: 478.124 Firearms transaction record.

"(a) A licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer shall
not sell or otherwise dispose, temporarily or permanently, of any firearm to
any person, other than another licensee, unless the licensee records the
transaction on a firearms transaction record, Form 4473: Provided, That a
firearms transaction record, Form 4473, shall not be required to record the
disposition made of a firearm delivered to a licensee for the sole purpose
of repair or customizing when such firearm or a replacement firearm is
returned to the person from whom received."

But you ARE right - the form is not yellow. It's more of a dusky goldenrod.

This one was gray. Not a hint of color on it (well, before the blue ink).

Cut us some slack, though. We men know the names of about eight primary
colors. Women have more names for "tan" than the Eskimos have for "snow."
