I called down there to the CBI center. Turns out, its because you are an Army Dog.
The state and other agencies want their money. If you owe on unpaid parking tickets, back child support, court fees unpaid, etc. They flag your name in the systems and you don't get to renew your drivers license, buy guns or other fun things without paying up.
My neighbor had applied and was granted her CCW, but a few weeks after that she was unable to buy a gun, denied. Her daughter was parking and getting tickets and not paying them, so they flagged her because the car was registered in Mom's name. She paid the $200 in parking tickets and the gun purchase went through no problems.
I got "turned down" last month; turns out, it was the rocket scientist behind the counter who entered the wrong zip code into his computer. All turned out OK, and didn't cost me any $$ but I did have to wait an additional 45 minutes for the second run on my info.

CBI doesn't charge for the check. Your dealer is allowed to charge up to a certain amount for the check. I believe it is $20.
Last year, CBI tried get legislation approved to make Insta-check a 'cash funded' unit, with a up front fee paid by those who purchased firearms and not a general fund paid entity and that proposal went down in flames. It was an attempt to help out the state budget and hire some additional employees to run the backgrounds, but no one was interested in that.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

you are missing the point. the constitution never said a damn thing about getting a background check. fuck them, fuck the laws, fuck their bullshit anti-gun agenda. fire every single one of them. I don't need a background check to get a gun. we need less government, less laws, and less bullshit.
