I have a strange request for a Colorado FFL

[Rigger]

I tried to purchase a hand gun 6 years ago and was denied due to a background check. I was arrested once for a misdemeanor and served probation. That purchase was right after being released from probation, and I believe the system had not been updated yet. Since then, I have re enlisted in the Army, received a security clearance from the Army, spent 4 tours in Iraq. And I am currently still on active duty. The question has now come up as to weather or not I would pass. I am looking for an FFL that can do a background check just to see if I pass or not. I am not currently interested in making a purchase. I am just curious to see how it comes back.

go to this link. pay about 6 bucks and it will do a background check for you. if you pass this, you can buy. i know from experience.

i also called and talked to an agent at cbi. he said the same thing. i cant guarantee anything. but it worked for me.

OK, I went to that website and here is what it said.

AGENCY AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT
ARREST NUMBER 87-978
NAME USED XXXX
CHARGE 01
CHARGE LITERAL CONTEMPT OF COURT-SEE MIS FAIL TO PAY FINE
OFFENSE DATE 10/22/1985
------ COURT ------
CHARGE 01
CHARGE LITERAL CONTEMPT OF COURT-SEE MIS FAIL TO PAY FINE
OFFENSE DATE 10/22/1985
COURT DISPOSITION GUILTY
SENTENCE 1 DAY

Nothing else. This was when I was 17. My arrest in JEFFCO for the misdemeanor is not on here. So now I am really curios to know if I would pass, LOL

to not be able to buy,

domestic violence, violent crime

but, here is the misdeamenor thing

if the crime carries less than 1 year in jail it is, to the best of my knowledge, not going to prohibit you from owning, buying. if you get turned down again. take the rejection letter to the CBI or mail, call whatever, and get it worked out.

Misdemeanor 1-2-3.?. A misdemeanor 1 will give you problems. If you get denied again you can appeal through CBI.

[trlcavscout]

You should be good according to that, also if you were not able to purchase a firearm it should have prevented your enlistment. So you should be good.

[Rigger]

Or at the very least, it should have stopped my security clearance LOL. I listed it on my SF86. And never had any issues.

I hate to derail the thread but I just got my report thing from CBI and it lists my dad's date of birth as mine, he's forty years older than I am...Should I get that fixed?

[Rigger]

I think I would probably get that fixed. I just came back from an FFL down the street from my house. I filled out the form and he put it in the system. It came back with a response of DELAYED. He said he has never seen that before, it usually is approved or denied. He looked it up and it says that they have 3 days to approve or deny it. I wonder if it came back delayed because I have a military security clearance (which means I have an FBI file number). I know it wasnt because I have a warrant or anything like that.

Something requires looking at. Like said if they deny it, challenge it to see what it is. But the stuff you have spoken of shouldnt cause a denial. My dad got denied because of a traffic wreck from when he was like 17. When they went to the PC system it was put in wrong, he challenged it and they had to clear it.
