How a business decides they should show their due diligence in the verification of a valid PAL when a purchase is made is likely driven by input from people like their legal counsel. If their decision to swipe or scan or write down your information is that bothersome to you, you can always take your business elsewhere. Or you could go with a buddy. Where you both handle and admire said firearm. Then one of you says they will take it. When they ask for your PAL present it. They scan, copy or what ever with it. Then the other one of you ponies up the cash for the sale. Then the one who presented the PAL says, real clear like, I’ll hand it over to you in the parking lot. If there’s any storing on the gathered information it’ll be useless in about 7 minutes when you guys are outside the store.
