ATF Inspections: Know the Trends, Spot the Risks and Protect Your FFL

This webinar was hosted on Monday, September 28, 2026

ATF inspection and enforcement practices continue to evolve, making it increasingly important for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to understand current regulatory expectations and identify potential compliance risks before an inspection occurs, including pending Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) changes.

This webinar provides a practical overview of recent ATF NPRMs, recent inspection findings and enforcement trends, including common violations identified during compliance inspections, license revocation trends and areas receiving increased regulatory attention. The presentation also examines strategies FFLs can implement to mitigate risk, strengthen internal controls and maintain an effective compliance program. Attendees will gain practical insight into current ATF inspection and enforcement practices since the filing of NPRMs, and actionable measures they can incorporate into their day-to-day operations to reduce deficiencies and improve overall regulatory compliance.

Key Takeaways for Attendees:

• Current Enforcement Trends: Understand current ATF inspection and enforcement trends, including the current Administrative Action Policy.
• Revocation Risk Conduct: Recognize conduct that may create heightened enforcement or revocation risk.
• Compliance Expectations: Gain a better understanding of current ATF compliance expectations.
