This information applies to licensing tasks which can be performed by Gun Dealers.
MIRCS Massachusetts Instant Record Check System, the computer application for which this user guide is written will pre-populate all of the physical attribute fields for which it has existing data. Race is not explicitly tracked by MIRCS during the licensing process, so that field will not be pre-populated. If the physical attributes are incorrect or incomplete, you may edit the data as necessary. Any changes you make will only be effective for the duration of the sales transaction, in order to allow the correct information to print on the FA-10 The form used by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to report all firearms transactions.. MIRCS will notify FRB the Firearms Record Bureau, a division of the Criminal History Systems Board of any edits you make, so that permanent, follow-up corrections can be made.
