Denied or delayed? Since you have purchased before, hopefully just a glitch in the system from being overwhelmed.
I got one delay on a holiday weekend one time. Was approved by following Tuesday. Good luck.

Did you put your Social Security number on the form? If you didn't, that can sometimes lead to delays (especially if you have a common last name).

If you were denied you should have received a code from NICS, which you can reference and make a ticket. If the store denied you, I.E. suspicion of a straw purchase etc then to my knowledge there is nothing you need to do. Could be wrong about this. |

They didn't give me any code to use for answers. They did give me a handout with a website to find out why is was denied and how to appeal. No open protection orders or criminal investigations that I am aware of. Our prosecutor is the head of the county republican party, so I guess I can ask him at our monthly meeting Thursday night. Wouldn't that be some crap? First gun purchase since becoming an elected official and I get denied....🤪 Where's all my conspiracy theory guys? |

Just in case anyone is interested, the website is not extremely user friendly.....
It told me I was denied because of a protective order. The only one I've ever known of was 13 or more years ago and I had paperwork stating that is was non Brady prohibitive. I say had because that paperwork was lost in the shop fire in June 2019. I realize not the best choice of storage locations, but I kept it in my scout files in case of questions.
Now I'm hoping the Prosecutor can and will help clear this up. The funny thing is I can't even tell you how many guns I've bought in the last 13 years. Even better, my time as a reserve officer was since then as well.

Shotgun. I was putting one in the cabinet as a backup gun for waterfowl. We are planning a few trips for next season and I much prefer to have a plan B when I'm away from home.

If not, and it happened in this state, petition the Governor for a pardon or whatever it's called. |

Ah, just make a purchase from a private citizen. You’ll be good to go. All kidding aside, hope you get this corrected.

The Brady issue is your holdup.
Go back to the court or the prosecutors office in that manner and follow up on it.

That's what's so weird this time around. At the very least I have to get a copy of the disposition and send it in. |

No arrest, no formal charges, no convictions, no anything except me not arguing when the other side asked for a piece of paper to keep distance between us. |
