Finally, it was approved. I got a call this afternoon and already picked up and put nearly 200 rounds through it.

By the way, I cannot see why you gave them your Social Security Number, federal courts having told them several years ago, that their demands therefore were a violation of federal law.

Alan,
It did state that the SSN was optional and the dealer explained it simply enough. If I provide it, it helps identify me quicker and more accurately. Having nothing to hide, I filled it in. I can see from your reaction, this is something I shouldn't have done? What are the downfalls of providing an SSN on an application form? This is only the 2nd time I've gone through the process (un-wantingly I might add) so it's all new to me. Aside from the state and local laws for PA with regard to firearm ownership and carry, I know those, but, I don't know enough to know what providing an SSN could be used for other then IDing me.
Anyway, I got the pistol, fired it and loved it....now it's time for it's first cleaning
.
Thanks for all the posts everyone, I'm glad for the advice and even more so that the problem got corrected.
