If a person wants to buy a firearm from an FFL dealer but lives far enough away that it's a significant investment of time and gas to go to the dealers location, does that person have to be present for the NICS check to be run? This person says they are always delayed, and doesn't want to drive an hour just to have to come back in a day or two. It would be easy enough for them to send the info via phone or text or even emailing them the form 4473, having them fill it out and sign and date it, then emailing it back signed and dated with a picture of their drivers license/ID to make the dates and signatures correct, and then compare drivers license to their form. Then after getting a proceed response, have them come to the FFL location, and when they are physically present, make sure it's actually them...I don't know if thats legal or not, or if I am making sense to anyone. If you have any helpful info I would appreciate it. I thought about calling the ATF but I try to avoid that where ever possible.
