    PPT dros issue/question

    I just did a PPT today as a buyer. After getting home, I looked over the dros and it listed me as a White and not Asian (I'm Asian) in the Race part. I called the store and asked them regarding this issue and they said not to worry about it as long as I am in the system it should be no problem.
    Should I be worried?

    Nah don't be worried. You get to choose whatever you identify with. I had a friend that was white who said just for giggles he identified as black on the DROS. Never missed a gun pickup.

      I’m half Asian, half white. I tell them to choose whatever. Never been an issue.

        You're good. A joke lots of gun counter clerks likes to say is "what race would you like to be today?"

          No, lol on several occasians when a ffl fills my stuff out they check white, but I'm hispanic. Ive asked them once, and two employees told me they marked the African American box last time they drosed a gun and nothing bad happened(they aren't black).

            I choose a different one every time.

            If they ever come knocking on my door, I will have options.

                That 4473 is a Federal form. Technically, you should answer the questions truthfully to the best of your knowledge.

                  DROS is CA. Which in this case the clerk printed out the DROS form and op notice it was incorrect on the race field. Most likely clerk entered the incorrect race while DROSing.

                  4473 is a sperate fed form.

                        On Mondays I truthfully identify with Asian. Tuesdays Hispanic. Wednesday White. Thursday Pacific Islander. Friday African. The weekends I identify as wasted. Truthfully, always.

                          This is California... Complain that the 4473 question does not fairly represent your identity!

                          Tell them you are Ethnicity Neutral..

                            My mommy told me MeMaw and PawPaw used to play Vaqueros and Indians. Mama said that she was born with high cheek bones just like MeMaw and a love for corn tortillas. I use this family history on all federal and employment forms. What bothers me most on the 4473, there is no way for me to express that I am a trans non-cis lesbian.

                            I feel triggered I need to go to my safe space now...!!!

                              If you choose wisely, when they look you up, they may think twice about coming.
