I keep getting delayed EVERY time I buy a gun. I believe Charles Manson could have better results! I have been finger printed for security access into nuclear power plants including some sensitive areas, so I guess that is the reason for the delays. I am NOT a felon and have no bad behavioral habits. I have read that the FBI offers a process that is called a VAP(voluntary Appeal File) where by the finger print you and do a background check and if you pass muster, they will issue you a unique identifier number to add to your 4473 form. My question: has anyone shared this experience with the feds? I can't help but thinking about the old saying-"don't poke the bear"- but I'm not a terrorist for crying out loud.
