WILL HE PASS THE BACKROUND CHECK???

Do you really think that identifying yourself is a privilege that can be revoked?

the dmv may be dumb to some people, but i don't think they are dumb enough to issue an id when there is a suspended dl on file. the issued number on an id is probably the same number of the dl anyway, if you have one. if you don't, then the number issued becomes your dl number when you do get one. after all, don't you think the dmv would have thought of this scam before, or at least have experience with others who have tried it? logically, why dig yourself deeper, though many do? just pay the ticket and get it over with. an unpaid ticket is not just another unpaid bill.

I ran into this situation. If your D/L is suspended the DROS will come back with a DMV hold as others have said. I also wondered if an ID card would work (I didn't understand why you needed to drive to own a gun - makes NO sense) but I suspect that if/when they run your record the DMV would still come back with a hold. Best way is to get the license valid again but I guess you could try the CA ID route if you are in that much or a hurry.

I have never had a license (please don't ask why but i will get one soon) but i do have a CA ID and i had no problem buying guns. The only reason why i got an ID when i turned 18 is so i can buy guns/ammo.

I have an ID card and DL. I use the ID card to buy guns all the time.

They both have the same number on them, so Im guessing they're "linked" somehow.
