Rarely, after I turn in the paper work, someone will inform me that I HAVE to provide my SS#.
The SSN is used as a tie breaker if you have a name and birthday the same as a prohibited person in the NICS database. Since the CHL exempts you from the phone call, there is no need to fill it in.
I see no problem with a photocopy, it allows to FFL to easily prove to ATF auditors that they did in fact verify the information and other that a crappy photo that they could easily get from DPS in an hour if they need it, contains nothing that's not already on the form. As a SW developer, I'm pretty paranoid about information, but this one is not an issue.
