I have a friend who has been a federal cop for 20+ years. Our dept. sent out notice that a new to market firearm has been approved to carry as back up as long as we qualify. Since we have to provide our own bugs, he & I together went down to purchase a couple. We picked em out, filled out the 4473 and were ready to go when the clerk told my buddy that he had a conditional. My friend got on the phone w/ FDLE and explained that he knew what they where seeing in NCIC and explained that it was an arrest from 1986 and no charges where ever filed, it was only an arrest. After giving them his LE I.D. # and telling them who he was with and giving them the number to the dept. HR they said they could not call anyone and it doesn't matter that he's Law Enforcement. WOW! This was on Wed. and they still haven't cleared it. This was his only arrest ever and he's been cop most of his life since. He's never had a conditional before.
Background checks only stifle law abiding citizens. They absolutely do not stop bad people from getting guns.
