Denied gun sale question

[thunderchicken]

I am sure this question has bee asked before at some point, so bear with me. My dad went into a gun shop Friday to buy a .22lr. When they called in the info, he was denied the sale untill further notification. What exactly does this mean? He's as clean as it gets, has never been arrested, does have a LTCH & hasn't made a gun purchase since the mid 90's. How long does it take to get an approvedto complete the sale? What criteria constitutes a no sale response? Is there some agency he can contact to clear up any questions?

Denied or delayed? There's a big difference...

You should read the INGO FAQ!

Did he add his SS number on the form? That usually trips people up.

Mkay. I only call in zillions of them without SSNs that go through quicker than a hot knife through butter...but OK.

From what I have been told at the local shops. They have been having a lot of holds lately.

I am sure he was shocked to say the least. I have never had the experience to being 'denied. I really like the INGO knowledge base. If you cannot find the info just ask the group.

I would say there is a bad guy with the same name. It will work out.

ncic is ran on basic description. if he hasent done any transactions since 1990 then there is no concern for the delay. they have to get a base lineon his info and sooner or later it will start to go strait threw.

I haven't had any lately. There is no rhyme nor reason. They don't just "hold" because they feel like doing it. There is a delay because there is a red flag that needs looked at.
