Was putting together a 6MM BRX AR-15 build for a long range rifle class that I want to take this fall. Was also hoping to use the rifle for a Hog hunt in October as well. I ordered a lower reciever and got the call it was in. This is where it goes south.
I filled out the 4473 like always, listed my SSN etc. Never had any issues with getting the "proceed". Never been in trouble with the law etc. I pay my bills on time and go to work everyday to support the millions on welfare.
Guy came and found me in the shop to tell me that the purchase was put on hold. A NICS supervisor reviewed my information and determined they needed to investigate me further. FFl told me I can come back in a week and if they have't sent a denial I can take the lower with me. He asked me a pile of questions basically trying to find out if I was lying on the form etc. Told me the last guy that was denied had warrants out for his arrest. Of course this got me pretty upset. Basically told me I had committed a felony.
I walked in as a law abiding citizen and walk out looking over my shoulder waiting for the FBI to come and arrest me. In researching the next steps I can apeal etc but I find nothing about what to do between now and getting cleared.
Should I transfer my firearms to an FFL or a Family member while this goes on? Basically they are telling me that for whatever reason I am not allowed to posess a firearm. I don't want to get in trouble any more than I already apear to be in. Was going to go talk to the Chief of Police in my town this afternoon to see if he could find out what they are looking at.
My credit union pulled up my credit history and nothing was on there that was out of ordinary.
Didn't get much sleep last night and dont want to wait a week with this hanging over my head.
