    Question NY pistol license application question - 'race'

    Hi all, trying to fill out the NYS Pistol/Revolver license application. In the spot for 'RACE', it has four spaces. What would you put for white/caucasian? WHIT, just W or WHTE or I"m cornfused and I don't want to mess this up. Thanks!

    As a pale bastard myself, I categorized myself as "CAUC".

    If they have a problem with that and ask if you meant to say white, tell them "No, I am Caucasion". It's a dumb box anyway.

    I thought after January we were a post-racial society :-)

    Why would God invent something like whiskey? To keep the Irish from ruling the world of course.

    I put 'WHIT' or whatever would fit spelling WHITE. My permit is confirmed in process so it wasn't a problem, at least not through Putnam Co.

    Thumbs up

    Ok thanks for the help guys! I think I am going to go with WHIT to be consistent with the ATF 4473 form.

    Although it's kind of funny since the 4473 form says 'check one or more boxes'
