Certainly NICS is capable of being flawed.
Perhaps there is just a system error, the dealer plugged info in incorrectly or [b][i]something[/b][/i] from your past is not purged. Just guessing mind you. I would think this dealer could give you more info than he/she did though. Have you been subjected to and Federal, State or Local background checks recently? If so, how did they go? Has never happened to me glad to say. Good luck |

If you are 100% truthful about your record being squeeeeky clean it has to be a clerical mistake by either your FFL or the States checking system. Likely it's just a case of mistaken identity or something. This can be cleared up in a jiffy if you follow your states procedure on correcting denials.
My lawyer, who is a pillar in the community and I went pistol shopping a month ago and he was turned down too. He did the paperwork/phone calls and was cleared in a few days. |

Must have been an error on the NICS side. That happens sometimes.

Identity theft is a huge and growing problem. I was a victim financially, you could just as easily be a victim legally.
If I were you I would contact all the records departments asap. you don't need it causing problems later. good luck with the mystery |

What speeds up the process is using one's CCL instead of DL for the ID. You can appeal, of course. I've seen every single appeal get overturned with a bit of further checking. It's a PITA & BS but when one pays a record clerk $6 an hour, one gets exactly what one pays for. Hope this helps. |

I bet this kind of bull $hit denials is what Bill Clinton was quoting when he said that the Brady Law help prevent x number of criminals from getting guns. |

I'd check with an attorney that is up on firearms laws and regulations, he/she should be able to tell you how to straighten it out. I can't overemphasize the importance of relying on someone who knows what the hell is going on. They are worth the money.

The Feds are not going to let the CCL/CWP's fly, anymore they want all transactions to be reported through the NICS system.

joe black, if you ever get NICS to fix their records, then please let us know what you did. I've never been approved by NICS, and I know others that haven't either, so I'm sure there's more than a few ar15.com readers who would appreciate that info.z

Your dealer dosnt know why they denied you.All he can do is give you a form to fill out and mail to the atf.Also he has to give you the nics transaction number.I can tell you for a fact that nics does make mistakes.We had a guy in once who bought a pistol and was cleared right away, he came back 3 days latter to buy a mini 14 and was denied right away.Just yesterday had a customer call to explain why he never got cleared by nics.He had always had to wait the full 3 days before he was cleared.SSI had him down as having 2 birthdays.

You have never been approved by NICS? I take it you are not a felon, and have not been arrested for DV; the typical reason's someone would be denied? Haven't you tried to find out why you were denied? Sorry, for the personal questions. It bothers me that you were turned down, if you are a "upstanding" citizen. Clinton at the controls? I kept thinking about this last night, so I thought I would ask. |

Indiana has a NO NICS with CCW as well .
I love it . Screw the red tape . No stinking daylight savings either . When it's 9:00 it is 9:00 . Not 10:30 , or 8:17 or anyother weird freaking time . No spring back and fall down forward two or three times a year either . I don't know how you guys put up with changing your clocks all the dang time . How can you save daylight anyway . Do you put it in a jar ? Or is it tied up on the railraod tracks and you unite it like Dudley do Right ? Why does it need saved ? Are we running out of it ? Is there a daylight shortage ? Life is too complicated as it is . ( pardon my rant ) |
