I know it can be confusing filling one out from what I read so I will probably get help for that. What kind on personal info is required and what other info needs to be divulged on the application? Not that I will have a problem but I read there is a 40% disapproval rate and I was wondering what special avenues I need to take and be aware of when filling it out?

When you do a form 1 it's the same info as a 4473. The fingerprints add a little more info, but the form itself is very strait forward. I think national gun trusts has a YouTube video on how to fill it out as the user interface can be tricky to navigate.

Where did you read 40% disapproval? Is there a Fuddlore website I haven't heard about? Maybe GON?

The form will also tell you if you haven't filled out everything required. The firearm information is where it could be tricky, but I will be filling out another one hopefully by the end of the week and plan on making a post outlining what's different between the free form and the $200 form.

I just was reading a thing on the internet about the form and it's possible misinterpretation of some of the stuff that they didn't fully understand the question. The 40% denial wasn't because the people didn't get approved for it but it was a 40% denial because they didn't fiil the form out correctly.

Excellent that'll give me a guide to go by when I'm filling mine out. That would be much appreciated.

It says you have to contact your local law enforcement office and tell them what you're doing and obtain Prince to them. That's just what it said on there I don't know if it holds water or not.
