Police will not confirm that you have a valid license now, had it today, customer says he lost his license, police said no sales until he got his new license.

How could the cops possibly know who the customer, who says he lost his licence, really was?

How could they confirm the identity of someone at the end of a telephone line?

Fair point @systolic

They could trust the dealer to have confirmed / know the identity of the person he is making inquiries about. Nothing wrong with trusting the occasional civilian.

I have myself had mixed experience of shops verifying my license. Maybe it's just because of the job I do that shop assistants "assume" I'm of course legit - but assumption can be the mother of some funny looking kids. I always insist on showing my license.

I have no problem, with the police, saying no license, no buy, this may become easier when they manage to get the system set up when gun shops can check validity of licenses, as trade me has at the moment.
