I had been getting multiple 3-day ‘holds’ for the last 4-5 years. That is where if the FFL dealer does not hear back from the FIB, you get your firearm after it is held for 3 days.
Finally, in December, I got denied for an AR-15 stripped lower receiver. I’ve never even been so much as arrested-for anything-much less convicted of a felony restricting my right to purchase a firearm. After some research I learned a scumbag convicted felon in New Orleans LA has the exact same name as I do. 600 miles between us plus we do not share the same address nor the same SS number... I wound up having to get the federal DA involved to clear it up all up.
Such is the level of competence @ the FIB
When I was navigating through the labyrinth of hoop jumps to join the .mil at one point I get a phone call from the recruiter asking about a DUI in some southwestern town in my state. I’ve never even been there, as far as I know.
I just allowed that, hey it wasn’t me, I don’t even know where that is, and thought that was the end of it. Later, they circled back to that, it seemed to me they wanted me to somehow “prove” that it wasn’t me, and I basically said that ain’t how this works, what am I supposed to do? Show me some evidence, I can refute that, but all I can think of there must be some kind of clerical error or mistaken identity.
