ZOT!! Being blocked to purchase a gun

Posted on 02/26/2009 2:35:28 PM PST by mdh48

I recently ordered a gun (long rifle). Went down to pick it up today and was turned down. Puzzled - I purchased a new hand gun in December 08. Any thoughts??

Is your name common or have you searched for felons with the same name? did you use your social security # on the 4473?

Did it have an evil sounding name to it? :)

What state, any past issues etc. would be informative.

In December Obama was not President.

Unusual post for a newbie. Assuming you're serious, didn't they give you a reason? Is there a reason you should be turned down for a gun purchase? Convicted felon, etc.? If not, it's probably a case of mistaken identity. I know it's hard to believe, but because of my name, some people think I'm a fugitive.

If you want to purchase a firearm, go to the dealer and ask why you were turned down, not to an internet site where nobody has any knowledge of why you may have either legitimately or illegitimately been turned down.

Your real name being Ohsamma Binlaudin has nothing to do with it.

Honest.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony, or a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence?

Have you ever been in a mental institution?

Eric Holder is in control of NICS again. No big surprise about being denied. NICS didn't work right when Clinton was president but miraculously it worked fine when Bush was president.

Pardon the hazing, but this is what happens when a newbie has a cryptic debut on FR.

You probably shouldn’t have shot up that school.
