One of my friends was denied to purchase a rifle by NICS. I have been trying to help him along by advising but I am stuck.
He sent fingerprints in to the FBI and a letter explaining that he was turned down because he was a fugitive from Justice.
They sent back a Criminal History Record showing that he had been charged with Marijuana -Possess Less than 1 oz. in Chartersville Municipal Court, Ga.
Disposition: Convicted 1995-02-24 ; guilty
Sentence: Fine $363
Would this prevent him from purchasing a gun? What can he do to become eligible again?
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas. I told him I would try to help him resolve this there is a solution.
And never be able to vote. I think that is radiculous too. Even 50 years from now, unless something changes, he will not be able to vote or have a handgun for protection. Sad. Most of us do things at age 18 that we are not proud of and considered crimial. We just didn't get caught....catch a pot charge at 18 and from what I have seen your done with guns....
