1. While we like the new flow of the form, with all of the customer inputs and all of our inputs clumped together, we believe the lack of containment and numbers for each field will cause confusion, missed information, and it will make the form more difficult to review. We believe a better solution is to keep the Section delineations and a number for each field. That would make it easier for the customer to see where all the questions are and which fields go together. As it stands I believe the Initial Only and NMN boxes could easily be missed, as well as the "Are you an alien illegally or unlawfully in the US?" question. Numbers for each field also allows for better tracking of found mistakes. It is more succinct to put "Box 10" as the area with an error, and have everyone know that is the address, rather than having to spell out "Address" or "Section 1, 4th field" 2. Since the firearm information is no longer on the first page alongside the customer information, the TSN should be extended to all pages so pages of different forms cannot be mixed up. This ensures the correct firearm is associated to the correct purchaser/transferee 3. Number of firearms being transferred should not be optional, but should be allowed to be an integer or written out. That would ensure that if a continuation page is needed, it is known by anyone reviewing the form. 4. We believe the initial boxes should go back to check boxes. Giving someone a yes or no option allows for more prohibited persons to give themselves away. 5. The NICS transaction area on page 3 is very difficult to read, and having additional NICS information multiple sections away could cause confusion. When the sections are back to back, it is clear where any follow up information is required to be. 6. We believe there should not be an optional requirement to attach customer identification. It should remain in the style of the current box 26a and b. It muddies the waters when you have 1 optional attachment and 6 required attachments. Please continue to allow only a record of the documentation acquired as opposed to a copy. Additionally, many customers in our industry are very hesitant to have copies of their personally identifying information made.
