Beware the of the back ground checks

So two people i know who have purchased multiple guns in the past with no problems have had issues lately doing BGC's. One guy was actually arrested and hauled off in front of his 9 year old daughter recently, apparently a warrant appeared from an unpaid parking ticket in Florida from like 1987. He paid the ticket and was released and went and purchased the gun an hour later. Ok so crappy deal but hey he had an unpaid ticket he had forgot about apparently. So bad on him but to show up all the sudden after all these years sucks. The other guy is a coworker who traded in a legally purchased handgun he had bought last year at the same dealer for a different handgun, he was given the not passed we will take our sweet ass 30 days to tell you why. So after 29 days he receives a letter saying he was denied and he was unable to be in posession of any firearms due to an incident that occured in 1989 when he was 15. So the gun shop has his trade in, the new gun and the cash and he has to hire an attorney to fix the issue before he can do anything.

Moral of the story i guess is that stuff comes back to bite you in the ass that you forgot about or thought was a non issue. My question is did they change something in the BGC procedure? I was talking to a guy at a pawn shop last week while looking at a revolver and he mentioned that more people are getting denied redeeming loans on guns as well. I dont know, i passed one two weeks ago so i guess my skeletons havent surfaced yet!

Good luck with the appeals process, too.

I call BS in both cases.

I'm not sure what changed, but a co-worker was denied and had to go through the appeals process. Turns out that CBI was just mis-reading the documentation on an old assault case that was terminated/dismissed. (bar fight)

Do you have any idea how he went about it? Did he get an attorney? My coworker was looking for some info and it doesnt seem cheap to het an attorney to do it. I have never gone through it so i have no idea.

I was thinking that but wanted to see how this thread played out before I threw the B.S. flag.

Could be that more state databases are getting interconnected.

No BS. I have known the coworker for 9 years, hunted with him etc. We both do background checks every year for The city of Greeley to do home alarm installs. And the gun shop is owned by a friend and former coworker. I have personally seen him buy 2 or 3 guns over the years.

Could be. The coworkers "offense" occured in Greeley where he has lived his whole life though.

I still call BS. What type of parking ticket would make someone ineligible to buy a gun? And if that was true there is no way to get it cleared up in an hour. As for the second I'd think you'd remember something severe enough to make you ineligible.
