Hi Folks,
I had an interesting weekend, went to pick up a pistol I ordered online at local ffl. I got the delay. This was Saturday 3pm.
Since then I have been trying to figure out what could have caused this delay.
Things that could be on my "record": in 2000 I was detained by Austin TX PD when getting off an airplane. In a nutshell my checkbook was stolen about 3 years prior and despite filling out fraud reports with the bank, etc I had an arrest warrent out. That was all cleared up about 8 months into 2000. Not guilty, etc. Only other thing I can think of that would pop up. In austin 2001 my wife (at the time) was looking for a good reason to keep me away for a few days, she called the police and said she was afraid for my life. APD came and asked if I wanted to go willingly to a facility for a psych eval. Not knowing my rights at the time, I agreed to go, fearing that NOT agreeing would land me in trouble. I was released the next morning after speaking with a Dr. No legal papers, no judge, Only the ride there fron a cop.
Can anyone tell me if these things would Flag NICS to delay me.
I imagine you all know what a Delay feels like. I feel like come kind of criminal. To make it worse my parents (dad is a cop) were here for easter weekend. We all went to the store (where my ffl works) to pick up my new pistol. So it was a bit humilitaing to hear the Delay in front of the entire family.
What is the numebr of Delay vs. Deny come up. Or, how many Delay's go through to a proceed status. My ssn was on the form, and my name is not common, but is fairly easy to tell I am from here, USA.
I was born in Ill, and now live in Texas. I have moved several times since 1998 but all moves have been within Texas. If you can't tell I am pulling my hair out on this issue....Help!
