wrong ssn

[Grimx]

I just purchased a stripped lower from turners yesterday. Today I realized I wrote my ssn wrong. Sigh. Will I have to do it all over again in 10 days and pay again? Thanks

Why don't you give them a call? They might be able to fix it before it is actually ran.

That was a voluntary thing right? Why would you volunteer that?

Exactly! I've never put mine down.

Never put that on there. I recently did a PPT where the buyer put his SSN down, the store employee took a pen scribbled it out and said, "we don't want that".

it NEVER gets run when buying a firearm in CA. CA's DROS system does not use any of the info on the 4473 to do the background check.

you gain nothing, except the potential for identity theft, by listing your SSN on the 4473 for a CA purchase.


when your ten days are up, I'd tell the FFL that you made a mistake on the 4473 and need to make a correction to your SSN. even though it wasn't required to be listed, listing a false SSN could be a crime since you sign the form under penalty of perjury. so, before you reconfirm everything when you sign the 44773 the second time, update the SSN since you know it is incorrect. I doubt they will let you redact what you have listed now, but you should be able to correct it.

Cool thanks. I guess its a good thing I wrote the wrong one? I'll just scribble it out in 10 days?
