About 2 months ago i stopped by my usual FFL guy to pick up the Sig P6 i had ordered online, and after getting off the phone for the NICS check he mentioned that everytime he does one of these for me the first person he talks to isn't able to give authorization, they have to go up to the next level before they will give me the OK.
That struck me as odd, considering that i have absolutely no criminal record other than a couple of traffic tickets, and i also happen to have a very unusual last name so I doubt that it could be confusion over someone else with the same name as me. But as long as they approved my purchase i really wasnt too concerned about it.
Then recently i put in my CCW application. After some lurking on a local gun forum i chose to apply a county that has a reputation for fast turn-arounds (Ohio law allows you to apply in any neighboring counties). I read several recent reports of people having their permits in their mailboxes within 2-3 days, and one guy even received it the same day!
Well it has now been 3 weeks of waiting since i applied, and i have to wonder if whatever it was that flagged me for the next level of scrutiny on the NICS check is also the reason why my permit is taking so long.
Is there any way for me to find out what shows up on these background checks when they run my name? Im getting tired of coming home from work everyday to find only bills & junk-mail in my mailbox.
