I just received my paperwork in the mail for a NICS appeal I submitted September 23, 2011. My letter is dated January 27, 2012, so a five month turn around time for my successful appeal.
Turns out I am NOT a prohibited person and the FBI had incomplete records they used to deny me for transactions.
They also returned my fingerprint cards, which I immediately sent back in the Voluntary Appeal File application.
Now, a question: does anyone know if I should pass a NICS check if I try to buy a long gun, or was the appeal only for the last attempt? I would hope the appeal would clear the record for future purchases, but with the government the way it is, I don't know.
Also, I applied for my Wisconsin concealed carry license today and included a copy of the NICS letter in case there's any mix up when the state does their background check.
I have been able to purchase handguns for the past year and denied long guns, so I'm hoping this is all fixed...
