Ever been denied a firearm?

[Fenway]

I thought you were flat broke and couldn't afford any training

Also to be honest (IMHO) you have traded one questionable pistol in the Sigma for another in the Baby Eagle.

no. Gun, case, mags plus 200+ cash

I am flat broke. I've been selling things on ebay to pay for my home defense. I also have built a few computers for family and friends to pay for my bills and ammo.

I understand you're concern about the eagle, but I have asked around about it, fired one, read up quite a bit on it and feel it's a great, reliable gun. Especially if the Israilei Military is willing to trust their lives with it. But that is IMHO. I won't really know until after I put a few hundred rounds through it.

The Israelis are a tough culture, no doubt. But they have developed all sorts of dumb weapons and tactics over the years that just about nobody else uses but them.

Any update on your dilemma?

 

[SavageEagle]

no i wish. The only thing I can think it would be is a misdemeanor(sp?) charge from my past that maybe they didn't update their records on. It's nothing serious and FAR from a barring offense. ****, if an ARMORED CAR company is willing to trust me with MILLIONS of dollars a week, SURELY the federal government is... ok well that's a dumb statement... but COME ON! lol I dunno. It'll get appealed. It's just the WAITING that's killing me. Right now i'm fairly unarmed. I have weapons but no firearms. I'm trying to trade off some computer stuff to get SOMETHING. Preferably something my girl can use once I beat this thing, but even a single shot 22 is better than nothing! LOL

 

[Bigum1969]

What about your LTCH? How long have you been waiting for that?

 

[SavageEagle]

4 weeks, but i realized i made a mistake on my paperwork so it'll be delayed.

 

[Wabatuckian]

What was the misdemeanor?

My name is Josh Smith (as if you haven't guessed) and I include my social security number on the forms to avoid a mix up.

I've never been so much as delayed, though the gun dealer has said that he had to give the social a few times to make sure.

You can be delayed due to misdemeanors. This is why I'm asking; not trying to be nosy.

Josh <><

 

[Bigum1969]

What kind of paperwork mistake did you make?

 

[SavageEagle]

Well I misread where it said if you had been convicted of ANY misdemeanor including DUI. I thought it said DURING. I was looking at two different questions and got them mixed up. The guy I talked to at the Licensing office said not to worry about it because it will only delay my process and that he had noted the mistake. Had I not called in they may have fined me for lying on the app. YIKES! Good thing I called!!

 

[Bigum1969]

I'm a little confused... During what?

 

[SavageEagle]

I'm a little confused... During what?

When i filled out my LTCH paper work. btw, what's your signature say?

 

[Bigum1969]

SavageEagle:

My signature says "Fortune Favors the Bold"

 

[Bigum1969]

SavageEagle:

Doesn't the FBI or whatever owe you a response by now for your background check? I thought they had to give an answer or the dealer could transfer the firearm. I think it has been more than 5 days.

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[SavageEagle]

No but they do owe me an explaination to why I was denied. Because I'm no terrorist, I'm not a druggy, I've never beat my wife and kids, and i'm not a felon. So if they can give me good reason why I'm denied then I'm sueing someone for something because I'm not a person that can be barred from owning a firearm. By God just give me an excuse to help everyone's right to bear arms and I'll die a happy man! And maybe I should refrain from posting while I'm sippin gin and juice... LOL

 

[Bigum1969]

Have you actually been denied? I thought you were still on hold status.

I hope they get it resolved.

 

[SavageEagle]

Yes and I'm waiting on my response as to why. Should have it no later than Monday.

I do think that these Lifelock, etc, companies may just be contributing to the ID theft pandemic.
