ATF to FFL's answer to question #6

[Jmac00]

If you refuse to answer question #6, no gun for you

The regulations pertaining to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) at 28 CFR 25.7 require the sex of the transferee in order to conduct a firearms background check. This information is captured on the ATF Form 4473, question #6, which requires the transferee to indicate his/her sex (not gender) by checking or filling in the applicable box adjacent to “Male” or “Female”. Transferees must select either “Male” or “Female”, but cannot choose both or write in “X” regardless of what is recorded on the transferee’s identification document. If the transferee refuses to complete question #6 then the FFL may not transfer the firearm.

They’ll end up changing this or removing the question, I’m sure.

Was just filling out my pistol permit renewal paperwork today. Noticed the same thing. Only acceptable answers male or female. I asked my wife if I should sue the state because I identify as a walnut tree?
