After a week long delay on a rifle purchase of the background check, it came back today denied. I am beginning the NICS appeal process immediately and am sort of bewildered by the whole thing.
Have any of you been denied and successfully appealed the denial? What was the process like? Did you need legal help or was it something you were able to do on your own?

Thought there was a shall issue clause if delayed 3 days or more? Something like that.
You have a delay, not a deny?

It was a delay at first, followed by an outright denial. Cabela's won't hand over the gun unless they get the okay from NICS anyways. Right now I'm even more concerned that the FBI apparently thinks I'm a criminal... which is interesting because I bought a gun less than a year ago with no problem.

That sucks. Have you bought before without issue?

Your name may be being confused with someone else, especially if you have a rather common name. Not giving your social can be a problem as well if that is the case. Might be time for you to look in to getting a UPIN number.

Iāve NEVER seen a person that applied for a UPIN, because they always got a delay, EVER get a proceed....NEVER! Iām not saying that it doesnāt happen but I donāt recall ever having a person with a UPIN get an immediate proceed.
As for denials all I can say is that you have to go through the process and it took most people 6 months to a year to get it squared away. More times than not there was a ālegitimateā reason for the denial. Oftentimes it was unpaid traffic tickets/bench warrants and old convictions of DV/assault 4 and restraining orders. Iāve seen men in their 40ās and 50ās get denied because they had a juvenile conviction for a felony. They thought because they were kids or decades have passed without trouble that itād be forgotten about, it aināt.
Go through the process and if youāre really not prohibited youāll get it worked out. Itās doubtful youāll need an attorney unless you DO have something prohibiting you from owning firearms. In that case youāll have to petition the court for expungement of the prohibiting violations.

Just a delay. My background doesn't allow for just any NICS monkey to access it.

I clear before they can take a second breath. But I don't have a common name. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Same here. Itās always a crapshoot but if delayed I get the approval usually within a day or two.

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

On a delay they have 3-5 days to respond to deny or respond if they don't its yours. The Cabelas guy who did the NICS check should have been told that.
