I have to show ID at the local supermarket to buy beer. I'm 40. My DAD has to show ID to buy beer there. It's not law that they have to check ID, but it's law that they can't sell to underage people...they tried ID'ing at the cashiers discretion and that didn't work. Then they tried ID'ing anyone who appeared under 30 (I took that one as a compliment)...that didn't work either. So now they just force their cashiers to ID everyone, becasue it's their business and livelihood on the line. I'm ok with that.
As far as I can tell, those requirements are not law--so what? People always get their knickers in a twist about FFL's requireing a gun to be shipped FROM another FFL and other stuff like this AT THEIR DISCRETION, but it's so much horsedookey. If a businessman wants to run his business a certain way, that's not for any of us to decide--it's his ass on the line, not mine. I am free to do business with him or not. Frankly, it is a pain in the ass, but it makes perfect sense for a business owner to cover his own ass. Would you prefer someone else (and you know who that'll be) tell you how you have to run your business?
