I have no idea why that looks bold lol!The bold bit is bit of an odd one. Yes you are required by law to do the check, but nothing says you HAVE to sell the firearm to the person you checked. All you're doing is verifying that the person has a valid license. They could have very well decided that they no longer want the thing...or their other half found out it wasn't really $37 and a half eaten timbit.
I always thought the reference numbers was just to make getting warrants easier. I imagine that if a LEO asked a judge for an order to produce, and listed every single gun store in the country, they'd be laughed at. But if they could list 3 or 4 individuals or stores, it would be approved. That was always my theory on why they wanted it so bad.
