I went to purchase a gun here in florida and I usually get it the same day with my CWP,and other times I have to wait no longer than three days,but this time I was turned down and I had to appeal it here in florida.Turns out I had a misdemeanor back in 1974,also was the same problem I had ten years ago when I applied for my concelled weapons permit and I had to write to penna. to get my records and send them to FFL in florida.
People at FFL told me I should not have gotten it because it was a misdemeanor and the sentence was 2 years and a day.
I can't remember offhand if Florida FFL's contact the FBI NICS directly or if it's a POC state. Either way it sounds like there is a disparity is someone's records, unless the conviction is for domestic violence in which case yes, you are a prohibited person, but in that case FL probably wouldn't have issued the CHL.

Did the FFL tell you how to appeal the denial, either with the state or with FBI NICS? If it's the FBI use the information here:

You may need to get a UPIN eventually (Universal Personal Identification Number), it goes on the 4473 in the block to the right of where you put your SSN.

They also told me when I reach 70 it will be cleared because of age.So I'm throwing this out there if anyone can help or had a similar problem.
Convictions don't "age off", they are forever.
