I've bought two handguns from the same FFL at the same time before, no problems.
My FFL friend recently told me that he has to file something special with the BATFE every time someone buys two handguns, or if the same buys two within the same week on separate purchases, despite having cleared the two NICS checks. Apparently if someone buys a single handgun from him, then goes to another shop across town, they simply have the two NICS checks but nothing further. He doesn't really know why - he just does it.
Not that I'm too paranoid, but I wonder - what is the purpose of this? Is there some master-list? What's it used for? Any FFLs or educated folks have any insights?
