I NEVER give my SSN....PERIOD, its optional, lets leave it that way...they know if they wanna know...hell, its THEIR number, ok?
For race I ALWAYS put American....that IS what I AM! Well, they got snippy one day, and the gun dealer didnt like their response any more than I did, and returned fire. Guess what? THEY WON! I went on delay for a year or so. Finally, fed up, during a delay I called. I was handfed BS, so I asked for a supervisor, more BS, another sup, FINALLY asked my name, etc...
Long story short, I am NOW on cash and carry, call and approve...I would suggest calling them. Any FFL has the consumer complaint line. They know who you are...if you dont think so, can I hear the pitch of your baaaaaaaa
