2 years ago (maybe slightly more) I had a BG check done when I got my CWP.
Since then, I haven't had any real run-ins with the law, but I did, as some of you may remember, have a very embarrassing incident take place involving a magic trick practice session (or learning session rather) go massively wrong and it ended up involving the police and/or fire-dept needing to break open my door with a door ram to help me. What was worse, is that I had some of my firearm stuff sitting in view of the police when they got in there to help me.
That was about a year ago if I remember correctly. Nothing bad ever came of it (except me moving out of where I was living mostly due to the sheer embarrassment of the whole thing). To my knowledge, my CWP was not revoked (although how would I check to make sure?), and after I called the PD to thank the police for helping me a few days later, to my knowledge that was the end of it.
My worry then, and still a little bit now - is whether any type of note was put on file about me as being perhaps as "strange or suspicious individual".
I had more or less let it go, until now when I'm looking to get into the world of NFA stuff (I want to get a suppressor).
1) Do you think such a note was made on my record a year ago?
2) If so, would it likely affect my ability to get NFA stuff (am I pushing my luck here?)
3) Is there any way to find out officially the answers to these questions?
Let's not rehash the incident here please as it is as massively embarrassing now as it was then. I'm just interested in how this might affect my ability to get NFA stuff.
