Obtain and send are two different things right? So non license shipping to dealer ez system can be used in lieu of a FFL copy for the non licensed party. Obtaining a firearm is something totally different.
Right. We're not talking about acquiring a firearm. We're talking about verifying an FFL before SENDING a gun.
Again, the law is that FFLs must exchange license copies. The law does not require FFLs to provide copies to unlicensed persons. The EZ Check system was set up, in part, to allow unlicensed people to verify the validity of an FFL. The ATF specifically recommends that how these sorts of deals work. What is so hard about this concept?
FFL to FFL, the two parties are still expected to exchange license copies. (That said, there is no requirement for an FFL to RETAIN said exchanged license copy. If an FFL were to write down the EZ Check detains about the sending FFL in his A&D book without actually having received a "certified copy" the ATF would be none the wiser.)
