4473 and commercial drivers license

[Frosty]

I picked up a rifle I ordered through Rural King, when the lady was entering my info into the computer she asked how long it had been since I bought a gun, I told her probably two years, she made some comment that it should come back quick, but she said I’ll explain in a minute, so it comes back with a proceed, but she explained to me that they have been delaying a lot of people with CDL’s, she said she didn’t enter mine that way, I just found that odd. I wonder if it’s not tied to the trucker protest?

 

[Bigtanker]

I've never had an issue.

Most likely, it's what she and others at that RK are seeing and you know how gun shop talk goes. One or a few becomes a conspiracy.

Less likely but knowing .gov, I wouldn't put it past them.

I heard the CDL's were going away after July 1st and everyone would be a super trucker

Constitutional CDL?

 

[patience0830]

Constitutional CDL?

Freedom to associate with a big truck

 

[ditcherman]

Constitutional CDL?

That’s how I roll.

There isn’t special treatment of or exclusion between regular motorcycle or various class CDL endorsements. On a Background check. If I’d presume anything it’s a couple delayed folks happened to have a CDL and either the counter person ran with it or they believed BS stuff from a customer

And Rural King says it all. I mean no disrespect but from the few conversations I have had with some of the gun counter folks there is. A lot while they try, Often regurgitate tall tales their customers tell them as they don’t know any better and take what they hear at face value.

 

[Bigtanker]

she said she didn’t enter mine that way,

Another thought. If she didn't enter your DL as a CDL, is that falsifying a .gov document?

I don't recall filling out the info about my DL as the sales person does that.

4473 doesn’t ask what type of license so not an issue.

But they enter the DL#, and the information is available through that.

The other funny thing with this story is you don’t have to have a DL to buy a gun. Any GOV issued document. Even a Utility Bill and Library Card satisfies requirements if the 4473.

Yes a DL makes it easier but with a DL the LGS only runs DOB, SSN and DL#. Yes they (people on the other end) see DL restrictions etc as they run a NCIC But they don’t care about anything except prohibiting factors.

SSN is optional.

True, I saw somebody doing a transfer with their vehicle registration. I was just curious if anybody else had heard of people being delayed because they had a CDL. I didn’t put much stock in it but I could see the current administration pulling some BS like that.

I haven't had any trouble with NICS(knock on wood) since I got my CDL.

I do fill my SSN, though.

I think it depends on the LGS. I know Bradis wouldn't accept a State ID that wasn't a driver's license, even though it was perfectly legal to do so.

How does the FFL know it's you? Car registration doesn't have a picture.

I was turned away for a transfer before when I was waiting my plastic DL, I had the paper DL with my picture and address from the BMV.

I was told a passport wouldn't work either because it doesn't have the holder's residential address.

From what you stated that would be on the LGS. I don’t work sales but do work at a store as a part time post retired gig. Several folks have used the paper Temp DL and by itself the passport won’t however along with anything with your address in it like a city utility bill would suffice.

Also a former co worker I am friends with from my agency transferred to the ATF as an IOS and we just had this discussion a couple months ago.

You know what they say about conspiracy theories? Give it a few weeks, and they become spoilers with the current government we have.

 

[Mgderf]

Rural King will NOT allow a simple state I.D. even though it's legal to do so.
Corporate policy says drivers license or you don't buy a gun from them.
Period, end of discussion.
There is no debate.
They simply will not sell to anyone without a driver's license.
It's actually posted in the store.

There has been NO difference in types of license on whether it's proceeded or delayed. I've run several hundred and it just depends on how busy the system is. It's amazing how many people all of a sudden admit to always getting delayed after 15 mins of waiting for the spinning circle of death just to go to a delayed status. On the other hand, I have noticed more proceeds taking 3 -5 minutes. Just busy as more people get firearms.
