Here we go. I applied for a "Permit to Purchase a Handgun" with our city's (in Minn) police chief. I received my permit in 1 week. I then ordered a pistol & had it sent to a FFL holder. I went to pick up the gun. The FFL holder said he called Virginia & that I was put on 'Hold', and the FFL guy couldn't give me the gun til the 'Hold' was O K. He also told me that if I wasn't 'cleared' in 5 days (Brady Bill), he could give me the gun. On day 7, I went to pick up the gun. He again said that I'm on 'Hold', but he did release the gun (5 day law).
Now I took my mandatory gun & range class. I then went to our county's (Minn) sheriff's office to apply for a CCW license. A week later I got a call from the sheriff's office and the guy there said, "It seems that you were arrested in Feb, 1956. (YES, 50 YEARS AGO!) There is NO mention of why you were arrested. Do you know why?" I told him in those days I was a maniac with a car, tickets all of the time....once 7 tickets in one day, but outside of that, I did NOTHING unusual. He then said, "We'll try to find out what the arrest was for, but "they" don't have any information on the arrest." So now I wonder. Could the sheriff's office hold up my CCW permit until they "Try" to find out what I did wrong.....a month, 6 months, a year? Heck, I had to be bailed out ($25) many times, no license. Is that considered an 'arrest'?
