Fed. court rules state can't require SSNs for gun permits
Posted by David Hardy · 28 February 2006 07:06 PM
A federal court has ruled that Pennsylvania may not require Social Security numbers for its gun permit applicants.
Federal law has a fairly broad prohibition against States requiring a person to put down their SSN (there are exceptions, including driver's license applications), but State agencies violate this with frequency (in many cases, without knowing it exists).

Texas requires SSNs for CCL and Drivers license. Wonder if this case will impact here?
The ham handed bureaucrats got caught, got their hand slapped, and, in the process received a reminder that they exist to implement the constitutionally mandated needs of "We The People" , not the reverse.
