Section 1235.80  Inquiry

Procedure

a)         The dealer will perform the inquiry by calling a toll-free telephone

number provided by the Department to the dealer.  The number shall be kept

confidential by the dealer and only used to perform inquiries required under

Section 1235.70.

b)         The inquiry will consist of the permanent portion of the

dealer's federal firearm license number (the first three digits and the last five

digits), the dealer number issued by the Department, and the transferee's

Firearm Owner's Identification Card number.

c)         In the event an inquiry results in a conditional denial, the

dealer will provide additional information to facilitate a return call from the

Department.  The additional information shall include a description of the

subject firearm(s) sufficient to determine which delivery waiting period

applies and information concerning the dealer's business hours for inquiry

response purposes.
