FFL DEALERS and Fed X users

There is no law requiring you to have a drivers license
That's correct. However you can have a National ID card. Problem is it has your SSN in it.
In NYS you can get a NON-DRIVER ID. It is identical to a DRIVER License in size color and shape. NON-DRIVER is printed right across it. It is to be used for ID purposes. Not having either one creates major problems when asked for ID proof. I again have no idea what in in the bar code. I went through this with my adopted son who is mentally challenged and will never drive.
 
Ii totally agree with RPS, if you have an FFL the cat is out of the bag the government knows what you do and that you own guns. I absolutely want to make sure i get my gun and the crack head down the street doesn't. I would be pleased that they care enough to check. Ive filled out many of the old yellow forms and some of the new white ones that are the same. NOBODY has ever checked with my doctor to see if I smoke pot or have mental problems. What is the point of filling out the form if its on the honor system? People that want to commit mass murder have no honor. Let the carriers do the right thing and make sure that they are giving the gun to the rightful owner. Why you are bitching about this makes no sense to me, please explain it for me, as a see no downside just a company trying to not make a mistake.

In Texas, the magnetic strip/bar code, there is a 99.99% chance that your SSN is in the Drivers License info. They pretty much require your SSN to get your license renewed. There is a really good chance that ALL the information printed out on the front of the license is in that code
 
I don't know what the bottom line is with FedEx about scanning your ID for proof of age, other than it proves the guy actually looked at your ID and takes the burden off of them, I don't think it's to put you on a watch list or any other sinister purpose.

It's funny how we will support showing your ID to vote and say if you are not willing to show it you must be cheating, but if we have to show it to the FedEx guy to prove our age when they are delivering a firearm we get the red ass.

They had your info when the package was mailed and appropriately tagged. I don't see why the final DL scan would be integral to getting you on whatever tin-foil hat list may exist.

As a seller, I would love an option to have ID verification for receipt of a package. Specifically, for when I ship a $2500 scope with insurance. It removes a lot of variables with carriers leaving packages on doorsteps or letting any 'adult' sign for a package.

Regarding your analogy, I would point out that showing the ID to a state/government official is not the same as giving it to a private company.
 
I guess I don’t understand all the paranoia. I recently sent a pistol back to S&W for repair. They sent me a label and I dropped it off at Fed-X.
A few weeks later I received it back by Fed-X. They scanned my DL and handed me the package. No FFL involved. Now everyone involved knows that the 15 year old dum wad down the street didn’t get my pistol..

Show them you birth certificate

That private company is delivering a federally regulated purchase to your door, I know that's stretching it thin but I thought it fit, at least a little.
 
"We're not going to take your guns. However.......we are going to make every aspect of a gun owner's life as miserable as humanly possible within (and sometimes outside of) the bounds of the law. We're completely willing to be directed to do whatever mass media and influential and corrupt politicians will have us do to further their own wishes and desires."
 
i dont wanna scan my DL either but to me its good they are verifying the correct person is getting the package. LGS told me fedex has stacked piles of gun shipments outside their building when they are closed and not there.
that aint good. they have to CYA on the 21 thing. if i was 18 and ordered a trigger from you i dont think they would require the signature
All of my triggers are Priority Mailed. LDS
 
Last year my girlfriend bought a rifle. After taking it out first trip saw abnormal markings on brass by shoulder area. She took it to the store and had them help her ship it back to manufacture. I had contacted them with pictures on issue. They replaced the defective barrel and shipped it back only to ship it to our house. She came home and it was at the front door. Paperwork had directions to please ship back to store. Do not know what company shipment it back to us. She had ripped the lable up. Not funny knowing was just sitting out front for anyone to take.
