1st of all, hi everybody. i just joined this site.
my English is not so great. so please understand.
anyhow, here is my story.
Right now i am a permanent resident and live in WA state.
couple months ago, my friend and i went to shoot clays. it was my 1st time shooting a gun (shotgun). i was hooked. and i wanted my own gun (shotgun) to play.
But, i did some stupid thing that i regret when i was under-age. because of that, i have juvenile record. However, my juvenile record has been sealed and expunged.
Now, i am 24 with no record. (also court told me i don't have to check "yes" where if i had any criminals on applications)
so, last week i went to BI-MART to buy a shotgun. when i was filling paper work. i had to think if i should check "yes" or "no" part where i had any criminal records. Lady at the desk asked me again. i said "yes" and told her about my juvenile record that is sealed and expunged. she asked me again, just yes or no part, didnt say anything about my record. Also reason i said yes is, she told me if i lie this will be another criminal convict and i really don't want that. (i check "no" on many JOB applications and never had a problem) after i checked "yes" she said, i cant process this paper work. and i walked out.
i am planing to stop by at local sheriff office and ask them to check my background(see if my juvenile record is gone and clean) i tried to call them but only machine picks up.(because of job, don't have time)
so main point is, if record(background-check) come out clean at sheriff office,its clean-clean? should i worry about NICS check? might show up on there? or they use same system? And clean means i can mark "NO" on if i have any criminal records? even i had that juvenile record sealed and expunged? sorry for asking same thing over and over. i just want make sure everything go smooths.
Thank you for reading. and any in-put will help.
