    I go to the operator every time. Last 4 digits, hair color, height, birth date, weight. Seems redundant.

    What do they check the last four against? What legally searchable file exists that can be queried, with only the last four?
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    Even though SS#'s aren't supposed to be used for ID, they can be at times and are tied to several databases. A criminal record database is one of them.

    Diver45, did you take the option to provide the last four of your SS?

    Very true. Some states view things differently than others. In my experience when I’ve applied for LEO positions I never had any issues with my background, nor issues with buying a firearm in other states. The problem only began when I applied for a weapon in PA. Apparently any of the states that have their own firearm check POC outside of the federal system is where these things can happen. PA is one of those few. Which is why when Phil told me to get a attorney I did. And I’m very glad I did, because it’s all cleared up. Just cost a tiny fortune lol! 😂

    I was just denied a purchase after successfully purchasing SEVERAL firearms. The latest was this year. How the hell have I slipped through the cracks for so long? PICS is a joke. I busted my ass for what I have and now I’m scared I’ll lose it all.

    Not sure how. Don’t know what the particulars of your situation. Please explain?

    What do you mean “Slipped through the cracks” ? Are you a banned person who is now being caught?

    I saw another post with this guy saying something about clearing up his DUI. Supposedly was approved before then he tried again later on for another purchase and he then went into research. Then apparently he was later denied. Not sure where he ran into problems unless PICS flagged him because of similar identifiers.
