SR-22 is just proof to the DMV that you have the minimum amount of liabailty coverage. It may be required for many reasons including getting caught driving without insurance, DUI and others. I can't imagine how that could make you a prohibited person but not much surprises me these days.will a sr-22 bond deny me the right to buy a firearm
NICS Appeals
Individuals who are denied the purchase of a firearm may request that the NICS or the state which processed their transaction provide the reasons for the denial. The regulations address the process for filing an appeal. Appellants must include the NICS Transaction Number (NTN) or State Transaction Number (STN) assigned to their transaction. To ensure all necessary information is received for the appeal request, the NICS Section encourages appellants to apply for the reason for their denial via the NICS Appeal website. Appellants without Internet access may submit their appeal via the NICS Appeal facsimile at (304) 625-0535, or by mail to the FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, NICS Section, Appeal Services Team, Module A-1, Post Office Box 4278, Clarksburg, WV 26302-4278.
The federally prohibiting criteria are as follows:
A person who has been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year or any state offense classified by the state as a misdemeanor and is punishable by a term of imprisonment of more than two years.
Persons who are fugitives of justice—for example, the subject of an active felony or misdemeanor warrant.
An unlawful user and/or an addict of any controlled substance; for example, a person convicted for the use or possession of a controlled substance within the past year; or a person with multiple arrests for the use or possession of a controlled substance within the past five years with the most recent arrest occurring within the past year; or a person found through a drug test to use a controlled substance unlawfully, provided the test was administered within the past year.
A person adjudicated mental defective or involuntarily committed to a mental institution or incompetent to handle own affairs, including dispositions to criminal charges of found not guilty by reason of insanity or found incompetent to stand trial.

A person who, being an alien except as provided in subsection (y) (2), has been admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa.
A person dishonorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces.

The subject of a protective order issued after a hearing in which the respondent had notice that restrains them from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child of such partner. This does not include ex parte orders.

Hopefully it was because of his lack of capitalization, punctuation, and grammar. I mean really.

Blame that on your state or gun shop policy ... not on NICS.I was recently delayed for thirty days for no reason at all.
Government "in action". (promote the laziest liberal living to run the NICS)
Guilty until proven innocent! We could start a new country with this principle.
I hope Webster aint readin this. LMAO
Instead of spell checking he should read the Rules.

Going back though my records, I was denied on a Monday the 7th, faxed and emailed NICS on Tuesday the 8th asking for the reason, received the reason in a letter dated Wednesday the 9th on Friday the 11th. So, letter received within 3 days of request.but how long does it take to get a letter stating why you were denied from nics
That is a civil matter, unlikely to trigger a firearms transfer denial. Unless of course fraud is involved.could i have been denied for having a credit card in collections
thelaststand You never know when you will be added to the banned list and for what reason.
The NICS system was set up for one reason. So that anti-gun groups could petition the government to add more and more people into the list of people banned from the right to keep and bear arms.
