one other thought...even had an agent gone to the shop and looked at my 4473, and written the information down, then that information would have been 'recorded and stored in a facility...etc. etc.' that agens .gov vehicle is such a place, as is his office, so a FOPA violation would exist..
After re-reading some of the Tiarht info, I will admit that my grasp on the subject is not as firm as thought it was, but it still seems to me that running a trace without having the gun in hand would be a violation..
..on an unrelated note, where is your shop, I'm always looking for new ones and there aren't many good ones around me...
please excuse the poor grammar, i'm posting from my phone at the moment..
