Ok I'd like to point out my view on this, short and sweet.
If I was put into the "Database" it was done off the 4473 form. If H&H done it, or a computer, it was read off my form, or off my id while filling the form out, entered into the "Database" then mailed.
Respectfully, the point of sale system information that was used to generate the mailing information is gathered from a guest prior to any purchase. The same info is gathered if you purchase a jar of bore cleaner, as when you purchase a firearm.
If you purchase a firearm the information gathered for the POS system has to match the info on the 4473 so the sales receipt matches the 4473. These two items must also match your ID.
When all is said and done H&H made more money off past customers that had filled out the 4473.
There you go!
Once again, the information gathered and used for the mailing advertising the FREE event came from the POS system, not anyones 4473.
The event was free of charge to all who came. No invitation was necessary. We had flyers posted at the store for over a month prior to the event.
I got the same thing and the ONLY way it came to my address is through 4473...i ONLY use a po box except for those legal forms.....
If you purchase a firearm the information gathered for the POS system has to match the info on the 4473 so the sales receipt matches the 4473. These two items must also match your ID.
It might be a game of semantics but when entering your info into the system we gather the info from your ID. Further, if your ID has a PO Box on it we will not sell you a firearm unless you can provide an alternate means of showing residency.
To both of you, I apologize if you we feel we used your information incorrectly. Like Miles stated previously, it was never our intention to upset anyone.
