Hi all,

Having purchased several airguns over the years, I have never thought to question as to why I needed to show ID, probably because I have nothing to hide and I'm pretty much law abiding without questioning the reasons.

However, a thought has occurred to me: What happens to the information we provide? Is it really simply to ensure that the buyer is old enough...?.... or does it go onto a database somewhere....??

There will be numerous records of my purchases but no record of whether I still own those guns or not, especially as we don't record who we sell them on to.

Any enlightenment gratefully received.

Cliff.
