    Need city of birth?

    Hi Tenda,

    I am curious as to why I need to give you my city of birth when I am ordering a .22 Savage Rascal for my 7-year old. I've given my ID and my PAL, what do you need birth city for? That is highly specific information and I shouldn't be asked for carelessly, or permanently kept.

    Thanks

    They require that to verify your PAL.

    Everywhere you buy online will ask you this. It's to verify you are the person who owns the pal.

    You really can’t blame them after the whole fraud credit card thing every dealers been asking for more info as of late to double check and verify so they don’t get burned on a purchase.

    Ya know when you use your CC on line you have to give your 3 digit CVV.

    Well...just think of it as your CVV for your PAL.

    If I'm not mistaken that's a requirement of a restricted purchase only. In fact I'm currently in the checkout of the bullseye website and it specifically says city of birth is for restricted purchases only.

    A business can verify your PAL with only PAL # and DOB

    For restricted transfer initiation, a business will then require you to provide your Place of Birth

    I don't recall ever being asked that question. How can they verify were you were born regardless.
