Recording info from DL and seeing a LTCH PROVES nothing. All you have to do is goto the license branch and get a dupilicate of your DL, then if you move you keep the original when you get the DL from the new state. Anyone can forge a LTCH good enough to fool you or me.I have a receipt book with entries from as far back as 1995.
If i sell any firearm I record the buyers name and DL number. (proves residency) and Ask to See LTCH (Proves no felony,) I also record serial number/model of firearm. and amount sold for. I also provide the same info to buyer my DL number and show them my LTCH. And date sold. Both myself and buyer get a copy. Seems to have nothing but up sides for both parties.
I don't think I have ever had anyone complain about it. Think of it as signing my yearbook of firearms. After all that reciept book is in the safe with the firearms.
Also you can transport your new gun home from the gun shop without a LTCH right?!
I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago after driving a pretty good distance to meet a man he then asked me to sign a bill of sale. If this would have been mentioned up front wouldnt have made the trip. Since I was there I did it but now regret it. I sent him an email explaining that in the future he should make this clear up front and he understood.
I am comfortable showing my LTCH and DL and feel better if I at least can see the other persons DL. I never record any info from their DL but I do have a spread sheet of all the guns that I currently own and every gun that I have bought or sold over the last 3 years. It has gun description, sn, date of transaction, if it was from a gun show I note that and if it was from the internet, like this site I log the persons username.
