Thread: PLease be aware of this

Ammo too by the way since last year. Though only electronically. So don't be surprised when we ask for your details for ammo.

My advice. If you don't need a paper receipt then request you don't get one. Simple. If you do need a paper receipt then don't lose it.

So the issue is the purchaser may lose the receipt and someone else might find it? Really? Take some responsibility. Besides, don't you keep your receipts for warranty purposes?

I only ever purchased 2 rifles from a store, and I am certain (despite my ageing memory) that I was not asked for an address by the store.

We legally have to record customer details both on paper and electronically. There isn't a way I can fudge the receipt to not show your details.

thankyou for clarification.

No worries. Might have been 20 years, long before I was in the business. Point stands, been that way a hell of a long time.

Not saying you are wrong, but a tinfoil hat is safer to wear than a blindfold.

Or blinkers.

@Coop, is the address and details on the receipt transactional or do you save them off into a database somewhere?

Details are stored on the company system under your "account".
When a firearm is purchased , or any other items, they too go on your account records.
Gun purchases are also recorded on a paper sheet and collected by police monthly.
Customer details must be recorded or you cannot be sold the firearm, so refusing to supply details kills the sale and you won't be purchasing said firearms.....
As mentioned if do not like details on receipt then don't take one. The sale is recorded on your account with gun details if warranty is required so receipt not needed to prove purchase.

Let's face it, after the last 6 years, you would have to be pretty blinkered to trust this govt, regardless of where you sit on some of the "conspiracy" stuff.

I believe the Police will now accept electonically stored records rather than paper but it took a long time for that to come about...And I suspect that is because it is easier to maintain over a longer period of time for reverse referral...
