I purchased two rifles at Big-5. Both of my Mosin's came from there, one from the Everett store and one from Marysville.

The address on my DL was an old one, so they used the DL to establish identify, and my CPL to verify my address.

Interesting that you'd have two different addresses, one on the DL and one on the CPL. They made me get an address change on my DL before they'd issue my CPL. Also verified that address was OK on my DL for renewals of CPL

When I got my CPL I don't remember being asked for ID, maybe it was the fact they were fingerprinting me and that would be harder to fake than a drivers license.

How did they get your driver's license number to put on your CPL?

Filled it out on the application days before I came in for the fingerprinting.
