I was refused a firearm and I have no felonies, am not a terrorist, no domestic violence, no convictions for anything since I was eighteen.

And that was for a stolen TV. I was however arrested for allegedly growing cannabis in my house. The case was eventually booted for an illegal search and seizure, so no conviction.

Any guesses as to why I can't own a firearm. I refuse to pay the bastards to find out why.

I suggest you seek a lawyer and hopefully get you cleared to be able to buy a firearm.

Do you have a medical card for weed?

Probably because you're arrested with connection to the manufacture of illicit substances.

I would advise find a lawyer that can do an expunction.

Could just be an administrative mistake. See, that's one of the problems with the current system that needs worked on. Peaceful people shouldn't be prohibited from exercising their rights and civil liberties because some minor functionary at the FBI was asleep at the switch.

It wouldn't matter the federal government doesn't recognize that and if he's entered into the nics that's going to be at the federal level.

They read this forum, thus your postings. Just a hunch

Yeah, I don't believe that shows up on NICS. In my state having a medical card doesn't prevent you from having a FOID.

Back in '75 I got popped for a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance (reefer). A small fine but apparently my fingerprints were sent to the FBI. Twenty years later I tried to buy a pocket gun from a friend but was denied through the FFL with no explanation. Took awhile to figure out why.

By the grace of God.....

I'm pushing 69 years old and the worst thing I ever got was a parking ticket, (like, less than 30 seconds after the meter expired. I was running towards the meter when the meter maid raced over and got me before I could feed the meter another quarter.)

But, if you guys only knew............................................................

There's also one tricky question on there if you don't pay attention. My brother was denied his first try, on that question.

Unlawful Users of or Addicted to Controlled Substances: This applies to individuals who are currently using illegal drugs or are addicted to controlled substances. Medical marijuana users face a complex legal landscape depending on state and federal interpretations.

Yep, that could do it.

I am staunchly in favor of more gun control, but I have always had problems felony convictions that permanently deprive someone of their rights, whether it's owning a gun or voting or whatever. If someone's too dangerous to be trusted with freedom, they shouldn't be out in the general population. If someone's out in the general population, they should be given a chance to clean up their act and earn back the same rights we all have.

Why would you support a police state?

Agreed. I believe in redemption.

If a convicted felon wants a gun. He's getting a gun. Denying them the legal route is kind of moot.

I do not have much sympathy for convicts. (Especially if they are president's.) But that's just me.

I'd be like another Judge Roy Bean if they ever put me on the bench. That would not be a good idea.

 

[multivita-man]

No, if a convicted felon wants to move on from his conviction and live out the rest of his life lawfully, he won't get a gun. A conviction says something about a person's past, not necessarily what a person is now or will be 5 or 10 or 20 years from now.

The pot is the reason you got flagged. “Controlled substance”

It's not about having sympathy for convicts; it's about giving people another chance at being productive, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. We should encourage that.

 

[multivita-man]

Not just simple possession but manufacturing and possible distribution, I reckon.

I still think it's a stupid reason to deny someone the right to purchase a firearm.

What a ****ed up program!

And who's to say who is any of these people, do they get a day in court?

My system simplifies all this. First you need to take a class to get certified, then you get a mark on your driver's license, certified or certified gun buyer. Then you get on the buy list and stay off the five tier no-buy list, which is controlled by the Courts, you will be notified and have a right to hearing.

You stole a TV? You admit to growing pot? (got off on a technicality"). I've got a guess or two why you can't get a firearm.
