Slanderous statements have consequences too, criminal I believe.this is very alarming to me...maybe this is extreme....but what is to keep someone ( anti for example ) on calling the authorities telling them somone is acting crazy and threatening suicide....now that person might be place on watch "just in case"....if someone just wanted to destroy a customers gun rights it seems like they could (in some states anyway)
One good reason NOT to furnish a SS number is that 4473 paperwork ends up in the FFLs files for whatever retention period is required, particularly if the transfer is denied.Did you give them your ss number? If not, you might be confused with any number of other people. Really, anyone who wants that number already has it, and I cannot understand why people just don't give it when filling out the check form. You're there to buy a firearm, not to play secret agent man with the government. They already know who you are. If they want to.
^^ this ^^Might have something to do with the fact that you changed your DL address that day. I'd say see what the FBI has to say before we jump the gun on this one.
Sorry to hear that happend to you. Suicide is a terrible thing, one recently happened at my school, another example of how the "no guns allowed" signs dont work....This is a strange conflict. Many liberals want mental health covered by insurance but seem to be all for taking gun rights away if there is a minor hickup along the road of life.
About 11 years ago, I kept looking at every bridge abutment as a good place to end things after my marriage came apart at the end of a cross state bicycle tour. I didn't want to do anything to my wife or the boy friend. I just wanted to end my pain.
That want of ending the pain was countered by the grief experienced by my wife when her father committed suicide a year before. Suicide is often a very selfish act and harms those that are left.
I suspect a lot of us have been to the edge before and we stayed sane though we had some crazy thoughts running loose in our minds for a while.

True, I bet your new address didn't match up with what they have access to!^^ this ^^
At this point, speculating that it has anything to do with mental health is exactly that - speculation.
Since you asked, my recommendation is that you wait it out and do not try "another background check" by attempting to purchase a gun.Should I actually try to do another background check again or just wait for a response from the NICS?
I'm a little worried that I'm not going to get a response from them because I accidentally left out my middle initial on the letter. According to the sales clerk, if you don't follow the directions to the letter they just toss them and don't even let you know.
The clerk of court shall also, as soon as practicable but no later than the close of business on the next following business day, forward upon receipt to the Central Criminal Records Exchange (this is the STATE POLICE), on a form provided by the Exchange, certification of any person who has been the subject of a temporary detention order pursuant to § 37.2-809, and who, after being advised by the judge or special justice that he will be prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to § 18.2-308.1:3, subsequently agreed to voluntary admission pursuant to § 37.2-805.
