I just heard that the Teal Rd. Rural King in Lafayette has a new policy regarding firearms sales, and I think it could cause them a headache.
A friend called tonight to tell me that Rural King denied a sale to him.
They didn't even run a check, they never started the sale.
They told him they will not accept an Indiana state I.D. card for a firearms sale.
Told him it had to be a drivers license or NO SALE!
Seems the ATF is coming down on Rural King because too many guns from the Lafayette store are ending up on the streets in Chiraq.
My buddy called Rural King corporate, who put him in touch with their ATF compliance officer.
This lady told him that too many people were obtaining an Indiana state I.D. just to purchase firearms, then run the to Chicago to sell on the streets.
While I understand Rural King's concern, I don't think it's entirely legal to deny a sale based on this policy.
Federal law, if I'm not mistaken, says that a state issued I.D. is required to complete a firearms transaction.
Most use a drivers license, but some can't, or don't, obtain a drivers license for whatever reason.
Ingo attorneys, what say you?
Is this policy kosher?
