She did mention former military and police officers being delayed, had my CDL for close to 12 years and never heard of it before, nor have I had any issues.I sold guns for over five years and I don’t recall a CDL holder ever being delayed. Now, nearly every active military member who bought a gun from me was delayed but they always were cleared within the three day period.

I've used my registration before for proof of address. The address on my registration was correct, on my DL it wasn't.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.
Be careful! According to ATF publication 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(1)(C): IDENTIFICATION OF TRANSFEREE , ( https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/ruling/2001-5-identification-transferee/download) using a State issued ID with an invalid address may not meet the Brady requirement for identification.My day job is 100% remote so I work a gun desk part-time for gun money and face-to-face interaction with peoples... well, and a discount on guns and ammo
I've never bought the CDL story... I've had a couple customers with CDLs repeat that to me, but then say maybe it's because I've moved 10 times in the last 5 years or that one thing that I got expunged that pops back up from time to time, lol!
We accept government issued photo ID with current address on it. If the DL/ID address is not current, then the ID plus an IN government issued document from a list of approved documents (auto registration, voter registration, etc) with current address is acceptable... utility bills, bank statements, etc are not... I've not looked up whether that's corporate policy or law because it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other.
And, the first item on the LEEPS (NICS website) is attesting that the name, address and DOB on the government issued documents exactly match what's on the 4473... so I'm skeptical of utility bills, bank statements, etc. to the point that if we did take those, I'd be looking it up myself.
Myself, others working the same gun desk, a clerk at Academy that I chat with from time-to-time and some LGS clerks I've chatted with have all noticed that a FAR higher percentage of background checks go to RESEARCHING (normally less than 30 minutes) and a FAR higher percentage of those go to DELAYED and a FAR higher percentage of DELAYED backgrounds never resolve during the 30 day expiration period and stay OPEN until the expire.
Prior to around August/September of last year, 90-95% were instant, now it's only 80-85%. It used to be fairly rare for a background check to go to "OPEN", past the 72 hour/3 day mark, now there are enough to require scrolling.
Something changed about 8 months ago making it harder to get to an instant PROCEED.
FWIW, DENIED is still very, very rare. I've had 4 in about a year with hundreds, if not approaching a thousand background checks, 2 instant, 2 after a delay.
Exactly!4473 doesn’t ask what type of license so not an issue.
I wouldn't try the library card part at a lot of gun stores...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.
What I mention is from a former co worker. He transferred Agencies and now is an IOA with ATF that inspects these things. Even it could be used and is legal.I wouldn't try the library card part at a lot of gun stores...
