I don't remember, but your DL# is on your CHL/LTC. (At least it is on mine.)flechero wrote:Does one of the forms specifically ask for a DL #?

Not every FFL follows this, nor are they required by any federal law to exclusively use a driver's license. You're welcome to argue the point with the dealer/employee and show the ATF guidance (here: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/what-fo ... ee-firearm ), but in the end, the dealers form their own policies of acceptable IDs, and those policies are generally driven out of fear (real or imagined) of the kind of scrutiny the ATF will give on a dealer's records. I've been through two top-to-bottom inspections, one recently. Based on my discussions with him, I have no doubt that he would consider the LTC to be valid identification.
My recommendation: If the dealer asks for a driver's license, politely tell him/her that a LTC is valid ID. If they balk at that, then you have two choices, terminate the purchase or give them your DL. Arguing with them is a pretty fast way to not get your firearm, because in the end, the FFL is the gatekeeper of the transfer.
The last gun I bought I only gave them my CHL. The clerk asked if I had my DL. I said yes, but my DL# is on my CHL. He said he just needed to look at it to verify my CHL 
. I didn't haggle with him, just showed it to him and he went on about the process. No biggie.
