How does an individual appeal a NICS denial decision?
When an individual is denied the transfer of a firearm, the individual may appeal that decision in writing directly to:
Federal Bureau of Investigation
NICS Section
Appeal Services Unit
PO Box 4278
Clarksburg, WV 26302-9922
You may obtain an Appeal Brochure from an FFL or online at http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics/nicsappeals.htm.
There's more. Go To the website above and printout the brochure. Follow it to the letter. If you think us mods at TFL are anal-retentive, you haven't even begun to scartch the surface.
Who are they? Do you mean NCIS/FBI/Gov or Wal-mart? Wal-mart give him their reason. NCIS said to not allow the sale. That is the limit of their need to deal in the situation as his problems with his record and the government have nothing to do with Wal-Mart.
He can find out, only not at Wal-mart. That isn't their job. On top of that, does a person really want the NCIS system spitting back a return that is then repeated back to that person via one of those highly confidential Wal-Mart or other gun shop employees. Does a clerk really need to know the reason why he was denied a gun purchase?
As noted above, he needs to go to the source and find out for himself.
Why does this remind me of Bill Murray in Stripes. "Convicted? No, never convicted."brian6839 said:When i was younger i drank and fought alot but never a felon.
Glad to hear that the charges were dropped. Are you sure they were dropped or was there a plea deal that didn't involve fines or prison?brian6839 said:...the third time the police had to come out she ran off and they decided someone was going to jail regardless so they arrested me...
Do you have a domestic violence charge or ever had a restraining order against you? These will disqualify you from a firearm period.
I haven't read the entire thread but I agree with this statement. I worked investigations in the ARMY and you would be suprised at how many people I interviewed swore to have no record until you laid it in front of them and they say things like "oh yeah, I do have judgements for child support against me", "oh yeah, I might still have that warrant out from when I was 21", "oh yeah, I did write all those bad checks when I was 19", "oh yeah, I did get arrested for hitting my girlfriend once", "oh yeah, I was busted for killing that hooker with a pound a coke on me, but it was just that once", etc, etc.I don't believe the entire story has been revealed here.
Step 1: Go talk to a Criminal Defense attorney.
Step 2: Listen to what the Criminal Defense attorney says.
Step 3: Do what the Criminal Defense attorney says.
So, either because you forgot the exact disposition of something in your past or because there's a records error, you might waltz in to the police station to check and find yourself in handcuffs.
Let an attorney do it for you. I've never tried it either way, but I bet it's a lot more fun to surrender with your lawyer and a plan than it is to do so by surprise.
if you've been arrested for fighting, that's an assault, voilence which is a no-no unless you've done it for the government in vietnam or Iraq, then it's ok.
I'm ex-army as well. The way you came off in your comment made it sound like you had something against the troops. That's a big sore spot with me.
There's more to this story than is being told. Police just don't arrest someone for no reason. Since we don't have the entire story, and only you know what happened, do a search on the Lautenberg Amendment. See if anything in that law applies to you.my sister was 16 and very rebellious so my father sent her to me well to make a long story short the third time the police had to come out she ran off and they decided someone was going to jail regardless so they arrested me but she went back to florida and never showed for court so the charges were dropped
