Ill make this short:
Put into NICS for mental health issues 20 years ago (48 suicide watch).
My state patrol only uses NICS to issue a CCW which is good for 5 years and is used to purchase firearms. No NICS is run during a purchase if you have a CCW.
When I went to apply, I was denied. I hired an attorney, within 30 days had my rights restored.
SO I reapplied for my permit, the state patrol was trying to "get me out of NICS" but it kept failing, and refused to give my CCW. I hired another attorney with the intention of a federal lawsuit.
The state patrol caved and gave me my permit.
No idea where my original attorney went.
No idea if I was removed from NICS or not. I plan to have the sheriff check for me soon.
2 questions:
Is the only way to get out of NICS after restoration of rights is to file an appeal? It seems there should be a process for a state agency to remove records in the same way they can put them in but not sure.
I am 1000% positive that is the ONLY thing I am being denied for. Am I still not allowed to own firearms (federally) until I get out of NICS? I have a court order restoring my rights through the process my states defines, from the entity that put me into NICS. Im not sure if the legal docs are enough or if I have to clear NICS for it to be legit.
I know its possible to have rights at the state level and not federal, but my process is suppose to restore me at both.
