The military property sales facility owner, or his employee or agent shall require that the person selling the new or used military property, to present two forms of positive identification to him before the military property sales facility personnel may complete any transaction regarding the buying, consigning or acquiring of new or used military property. The presentation of any one state or federal government issued identification containing a photographic representation imprinted on it shall constitute compliance with the identification requirements of this paragraph. The military property sales facility owner or his employee or agent shall legibly record this identification information next to the person's name and residence in the book required to be kept. Both the military property sales facility owner, his employee or agent and the seller, consignor or transferor of the military property shall sign the record entry. The book shall be a permanent record to be kept at all times on the premises of the place of business of the military property sales facility and shall be made available, during regular business hours, to any law enforcement officer who requests to inspect the book. A copy of the records required to be kept by this section shall be filed within 48 hours of the transaction in the office of the local law enforcement agency serving the city, town, or county which issued the license to the military. Mailing the required copy to the local law enforcement agency within 48 hours shall constitute compliance with this section. History (1985, c. 522, s. 1.) Opinions of Attorney General Orders shipped to facility from out of state must be recorded and reported in compliance with paragraphs (a) and (c), just as other transactions by mail must be. See opinion of Attorney General to Mr. Paul M. Starzynski, Member, Onslow County Board of Commissioners, 55 N.C.A.G. 42 (1985). Purchase at Another Facility Recorded. - G.S. 127B-4(a) does not prohibit a military property sales facility from purchasing military property at the place of business of another military property sales facility. However, the purchasing facility would have to make a record of the transaction in compliance with paragraph (a). See opinion of Attorney General to Mr. Paul M. Starzynski, Member, Onslow County Board of Commissioners, 55 N.C.A.G. 42 (1985). If military property sales facility purchases items by lot, for example 100 pounds of wool scrap, each scrap need not be listed separately. However, each of the items of scrap should be tagged so that their origin in that lot is discernable. Moreover, where the property has a model number, serial number and/or manufacturer's name, that information must be recorded. See opinion of Attorney General to Mr. Paul M. Starzynski, Member, Onslow County Board of Commissioners, 55 N.C.A.G. 42 (1985). Record-keeping book called for by paragraph (a) may be loose-leaf. See opinion of Attorney General to Mr. Paul M. Starzynski, Member, Onslow County Board of Commissioners, 55 N.C.A.G. 42 (1985).
