Why wouldn't you put your SSN on the form? I think it helps to solidify identification if you have a common name, and avoid delays in approval.
Ummm, I thought one definition of a misdemeanor was that a potential sentence was a year or under??
Are there MISDEMEANORS where the sentence is over two years??
Get ready to START putting your SSN on things "for I.D.".It's unnecessary. I don't give out my SSN to anyone that truly doesn't need it, like an employer. Giving it out willy nilly to people you don't even know is asking for trouble. Add in the fact that I still remember when cards said "Not to be used for purposes of identification". 'Nuff said. I've never been turned down and my name's not totally uncommon.
If you are delayed they have 3 business days to finish the check and make sure it is good to go. They can finish the check before the 3 days and call and release the gun. They can not call at all and the gun shop has to release the gun after 3 business days. If the gun is released after the appropriate length of time and the check comes back a denial, they will come to your door and pick the gun up.

The FFL holder does not have to release the firearm in the event of no NICS response after a delay.
Also in the event of a denial after a delayed and a no response release, There is a good possibility that more than just the firearm is going to be picked up.
