I guess my bottom line question is; does the government really destroy the information?

Doesn’t your Maine Driver’s License require a physical address, not a PO Box?
To: Chickensoup
How would you know if they do destroy the information? What do they have to check for - mental stability, etc.?

In Florida it’s the residency requirement ... PO Boxes are not an in State address.

I was told by the seller that it was just to check and that Maine does not keep a database of owners.

Supposedly this information is destroyed by the state in 24 or 48 hours. Is it "this information" or "this entry in a particular database" that gets destroyed?
If they pass the information on to some other organization in the "verification" process, you are now on the (assumed!) list of known gun owners and can be (assumed) paired with ACORN's GPS list of all residences.

The cops in Oklahoma had a database full of information on owners of a particular type of firearm when they were conducting an investigation into a homicide committed with that caliber firearm. They called all owners of that particular caliber firearm in to allow them to inspect those pistols. Funny, the information was supposed to be confidential. Draw your own conclusions.

I guess my bottom line question is; does the government really destroy the information?I think it safe to assume the government takes note.
The dealer has to retain records permanently. Ultimately, when the dealer decides it's time to retire or close the business for any other reason, he has to hand over all his records to the Feds.

They CERTAINLY do not in California. I was told they would do so, but in fact, the DOJ has the records. My brother in law is CA DOJ, and I have had a gun stolen, so I know that the DOJ keep these records.

You have to be a resident of Maine to buy a gun there. Having a post office box doesn’t prove that. There aren’t any guarantees that the record is destroyed. I’m sure they take at least daily backups of the database. They put that on a tape and send it somewhere. Usually you would keep at least 6 months worth of backups. So, even if some process runs to remove your record from the current database after 72 hours your record may exist on a backup.

One gets more thoroughly background checked to buy a shotgun than to become President of the United States.

Because people who are sleeping in P.O. boxes might not come back to sleep there within 48 hours.
