What does that mean exactly Pro? Say you are pulled over one day for a broken tail light. The officer runs your DL through the system and sees that you failed a background check trying to buy a firearm. Does that mean a trip to jail for the background check fail, or is it just to give a heads up to the officer after the stop?

I don't exactly know what the consequences of a failed NICS background check means nationally, it does depend on the state you reside in.

In my state of WA, the State Patrol are notified upon a gun purchase denial. Where it goes from there I do not know.
