When a State Patrol officer pulls up your data on their computer during a traffic stop, they run your DL#. That triggers the fact that you have a CPL, and attached to that data and readily available to that officer in their car, is a list of pistols that you have purchased that were registered through the process described by RVW.

My private party purchases are not listed, but the one purchased through FFL's are listed, because I use my CPL to avoid any waiting period for hand guns.

A list, readily available to an officer by just keying in your DL#, is in effect, a registry of firearms purchased by an individual. Call it what you want, but I had no choice to avoid "said list" if I wanted a NIB pistol.

Apparently a BJ isn't sex, according to some. So please, enlighten me on just what the definitiion of the word "IS" is.
