Anybody denied CBI for no known reason?

[JustAGuy]

Was going to pick up a rifle at Walmart today and at first, my CBI went in to a "Delayed" state and then went to "Denied. I honestly check "no" on all the boxes on the
form and am perfectly legal to own and carry. Anybody have this experience and can tell me what the next steps are?

Thanks.

Haven't had it happen to me, but yes it happens. Do you have a common name? Did you put your social down?

I did put my my social down. No reason given by the paperwork they gave me.

I'm pretty sure they give a reason for denial. What did the "dealer" say was the reason?

I got denied once. Apparently my drivers license had expired and was "not a valid form of identification." I renewed it and went back and went through without a problem.

If you checked "no" on 11a, "Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s). That is probably the reason you were denied.

That was my first though.

Well, there's your problem, the first question is supposed to be checked "Yes".

Damn ! T.B. turner beat me to it.

I think you may have misunderstood what I meant to say. I was being a bit facetious but meaning that I answer all the questions the way they are supposed to be answered....and do so honestly.

It could have been a typo on the part of the person entering your information, you can try another BGC at another FFL, or write down the store, date and approximate time of your background check and contact the CBI on Monday is about your only other recourse.

Thanks Bob. That's the current plan.
