I haven't called ATF yet on this. And I must say the last few times that I have, they have been very nice and answer some enforcement questions I had.
I was looking at purchasing a new handgun this past Saturday. I had my CCW and my driver's license so the purchase should have been relatively quick. When the gun shop started filling out the ownership transfer for the handgun, they noticed that my driver's license had my PO Box address on it. At that point the guy tore up the transfer paper and said he couldn't sell it to me without a physical address. I asked him when did this start, as just last year I had purchased a handgun from that very shop with the same store owners. He said it was ATF cracking down on them.
That's why I'll call ATF myself, what difference would a physical address over a PO Box have? Anyone can get one of the UPS store type mailboxes which have a street address and I could tell Motor Vehicles that that was my new address and mail a new license there.
I use my PO Box address for security reason, for all my bills and any legal stuff I have. While there have been US Post Office box breakins, it's a whole lot less vunerable than the mailbox sitting on street, usually an unlockable one at that.
