Is it because the Pistol Sales Record records your CPL number, telephone number, your "race", and asks you to print the name of the seller (versus just a signature)?

It's being asked to do something(finger-printing) that you are not legally obliged to do by your local PD I guess. Refusing, making a stink and hopefully changing policy.

I don't recall getting fingerprinted for a "Pistol Sales Record" and, if the person already has the CPL and has been fingerprinted, it makes no difference which option for purchase is exercised.

I was too... I just couldn't recall getting fingerprinted. Last handgun purchase I made was years ago, so I could be wrong.:)

This all stems from the OPs opposition to getting a license and all that may or may not go with it depending on his city. In warren, I had(or rather was requested) to give a thumb print in order to obtain my PPP. Others have faced long wait times, and I think the goal, is for people to challenge the departments on these/their practices, that may or may not be lawful.

They are not lawful. Preemption was passed in 1990. Prior to that, I did get finger printed for a PPP. Kind of silly since I already had the gun.
