Guess it had to happen sooner or later, the dreaded DENY.
Considering I was proceeded just 10 days prior and 35 days prior to that, for handguns, someone made a mistake since I have a clean record and have committed no crimes, not even a parking ticket. I do have a current CPL.
The dealer provided me the brochure with the NTN. Then he tells me some things that just don't sound right. First he says I should call the local city PD since they are probably the ones who denied. Then he says to call the county next, then the State Patrol, then NICS. I'm doing a ***? since I have no idea. Finally one of the counter guys tells him it was called in, so then he says forget it, just call NICS.
So I call NICS and the automation says they don't give out info over the phone, need to email, fax or mail full name, address and NTN. So I emailed it to [email protected].
Questions for anyone else who's been through this: does emailing NICS actually work? How long before they tell me what's up?
What sucks is this was a straight-across trade, I don't want to pay a 15% restock for a $0 transaction. So the trade sits in the dealer's safe doing neither of us any good. He did say if I don't want to mess with an appeal we can kill the transaction, begs the question though, will he give back the trade to a guy who got denied?
