Glock And Privacy Issues

[Ruger480]

Just verifying the credentials of someone is insufficient. It also must be established that the person whose credentials were verified is the person who bought the gun

The fact that credentials are being verified/displayed seem to be self evident that the person displaying them is the buyer. If that person is not the buyer, what need then is there for the verification/display?

Dealer: Are you buying a gun?

Customer: Yes, and I'll be buying it through GLOCKs BLP

Dealer: I need to see your credentials.

Customer: Here you are.

Dealer: O.k. everything looks good. Let's do some paper work and you can be on your way.

Or....

Dealer: Are you buying a gun?

Customer: No, just looking

Dealer: I need to see your credentials

It doesn't compute. The act of displaying ones credentials positively identifies the person as the one making the purchase. As was stated in an earlier post, to do anything other is to commit fraud.

As I noted earlier, you know nothing about auditing. Displaying one's credential to the dealer does nothing to later verify to Glock that the dealer has complied with Glocks requirements by selling a gun on Blue Label terms only to someone who is qualified. The audit is to test for Glock the dealer's compliance with program requirements.

That applies only to the 4473.

It doesn't apply to the Blue Label forms requesting a pistol at a discount

What is "not computing" for you is there are two seperate sets of forms for a "Blue Label" transaction, and Glock wants to confirm the same person is doing both forms, and that the FFL is being honest also, since they weren't there to witness the transaction.

If they were, there would be no need for any audits

The only possible way to do that is to see the names on the 4473's that correspond to the Blue Label discount requests
