I went to buy my first AR this weekend. I was buying my lower and the salesmen called me in to get the background check cleared. I was given the OK, but when he hung up the phone he said I probably wouldn't have been given the ok if someone else had called you in, because I've known that lady for 35 years. I laughed thinking he was joking but he didn't. So I asked if he was serious and he said yes that I must have someone that caught her attention but she decided to let it go. My question is what would have happened had she said no? Would it be a delayed check, a straight no, or something else? I have been arrested...little over three years ago for DWLS in another state. Could it have been she just wanted to verify what I was arrested for or should I consider doing some research to see if I have something I might not be aware of on my record? Thanks |

More than likely you would have been delayed while they verified something. I doubt very much the salesman had anything to do with getting you approved. He's just talking out his ass, trying to make himself look important. Do you really think someone would risk their job for a person on the other end of the phone that they don't even know?

Thats what I thought too and probably the case, he just seemed so serious it threw off my BS meter. |

I have had a transfer delayed and talked them into completing the check for approval while on the phone. The guy drove 1-1/2 hours to pick up a GSG-5P, and I didn't think it was reasonable to make him drive home and back. That was 2 days ago with the FBI NICS check. I don't know if I could have done it with the OSP though. |
It happens almost every time I get a check.

Sounds like BS to me. That would be par for the course for most gun shop owners. My reply would have been " What's wrong with the firearm to raise such suspicion" Just like the earlier post it is a go/no go decision. I suppose you could get a rookie on the other end of the line and run into an ID problem. If your name is like Joe Smith or something. |
