This guy is relentless. Curious if anyone here that is an FFL can comment. I have researched this topic enormously over the past week. Coupled with the fact that I have ALWAYS only ever used my Driver's License as the form of ID for a firearm purchase or transfer - dozens of firearms over the many years - Everything I read, every FFL I have spoken with, and both State and Federal officials that deal with firearms all concur that only a valid State issued DL is needed.
Below is a copy of the most recent email exchange between Mr. DiAngelis and myself. I was hoping my email would have been the end of it, but he felt the need to reply. He certainly is persistent in his stance, I'll give him that. So, is there something I am missing? Is he using an OLDER method for background checks? What's the deal here?
FROM ME: If you want to set your own store policy then fine. I can't argue with that. It sucks, but that's your right. But don't tell me that the FBI requires two forms of picture ID that match the address on the form 4473. You are making that up. I spoke to people at the Boston ATF Management Team, the MA State Firearm Records Bureau and several other FFLs in MA. All agree unanimously that you are flat out WRONG. A State Driver's License is all that is needed for the Federal background check.
FROM PETER DIANGELIS: You are such an IDIOT! Have you ever conducted a background check before? No, well the first question the FBI asks is "Does the applicant have two forms of Picture ID, and do they match the address provided on the form 4473"
f*** you! You stupid f***.
f*** OFF
