Went to a local gun shop today to pick up an online transfer. Filled out the 4473 and provided my lic. & CCW. Clerk started typing in my info and said "I can't accept this address...it's listed as "non-residential""...
The address on my lic. (and everything else I have) is from my commercial building (where I do maintain a crash-pad for when wifey is not in the mood). Technically, it's not my residence, but I do own the building and have slept there in the past. The ATF would have an easier time finding me there than at home. Most of my firearms are also stored at the building.
So...what is the deal? Is this a gov't requirement to run the address through some sort of mailing database? He did not run the 4473, but input my address into some website. Isn't it between me and the Feds as to where I live and not between me and some barely-above-minimum-wage douchebag on a power trip? Wondering if this is a new gov't thing or a store policy.
Nonetheless, I left without the gun. Now I have to find some form of ID with my actual (residential) address on it...
