OK - so let's establish right off the bat that I'm NOT talking about ME.
I was at the range today. It was early, so it was just one guy (first in line), then me. Of course, since I wanted to just hop on the range, put a few rounds down range, and get home in short order, HE was buying his first handgun (it seemed). :banghead:
Now, this guy was being WALKED through the yellow form. He had some sort of accent and his english wasn't great, so the woman behind the counter seemed to be reading the entire form to him.
When she got to the part about misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence, he started getting all wiggly. Apparently, he'd done something sometime and wasn't sure if it qualified, blah blah blah.
Now here's the part where I have a question- she told him he she suggested he find out about it (whether his incident was or was not a disqualifier) before she called it in, since if she DID in and it WAS, he'd be in some sort of immediate trouble involving police coming, etc etc.
Now, I was just eavesdropping, but I was curious. If you are DISQUALIFIED from purchasing a firearm, but you TRY, will you just get denied, or will the No Guns Police descend upon the retailer like...I dunno...Batman and Robin to that big Bat Light???
I'm not sure if that would be a good thing or a bad thing, but I am curious now. Anybody know? Does it vary from state to state?
