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 :-)

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'
