DOJ Put a hold on my purchase?

[CrossedRifles]

Just thinking about this pisses me off. Use my hard-earned money to buy a firearm, but won't even get to use it, let alone see it, for months if it is held for that long.

I'll just pray and hope it's released in like 3 days, like the fortunate people out there.

Sounds like you may need to do a purge and seal your record buddy.

I don't know what this means or what it entails. I got finger printed and was let go, which is weird. I hope this doesn't show up on employment checks.

This.

That makes no difference. I was delayed in January, got a release in March and was just delayed again today. I haven't even had a speeding ticket since then. My tags are paid up through 2015, insurance is current, license valid, no child support or unpaid fines. These delays are BS! Not to mention that there is no legal authority for them.

Pay your car registration and hope that was it. I was at turners a few weeks ago and in front of me they called someone with a delay because they had not paid for their car registration fees. DOJ always stays in contact with the DMV.

Did he say weather this was his first firearm purchase?
I've never heard of DOJ putting a hold for DMV registration. What they hold it for late pay or payment due soon.

DMV can hold up your gun purchase and it is fairly common. We see it a lot. Most denials are from DMV or violatiing the 1 handgun per month. People can be held up for not paying their child support. Prohibited person denials happen but not often, they typically come in and simply ask us if they are prohibited or answer honestly on the 4473. We had a guy who got denied and when he called the DOJ they just said "oops, our mistake, you are not prohibited". On the opposite end I took a call today asking if he is disqualified for a misdeamenor, I explained to him how it depends for what exactly and to download the Firearms Eligibility Check form. I had another guy call me who had a felony for growing pot when he was a kid, wanted to see if he was eligible. Felons and violent unbalanced people are not flooding the NICS checks. These instant checks for many people are neither foolproof nor instant, the libs are lying to you.

I think we all agree with that.

I'm surprised the DOJ would even talk to your over the phone. How would they know if it's even you? I would have thought it was all done by mail, so there is a paper trail.

This is like you are asking how would the bank know it was even you?

This. There are plenty of other threads about this, and even a CGF lawsuit.

Me too, all I ever got from them over the phone was an attitude problem.

The bank and me have set up passwords, user id, their 800# phone system displays the phone number I'm calling from. So they know it's me with a pretty high probability. DOJ probably has that with FFL's, but not us common folks.

I recently purchased 2 long guns on the same DROS and had one of my vehicle's registration unpaid. I completely forgot about it and it was due at the end of March I think. I was pissed at myself when I got the letter this week from the DMV with the late fees added in. I didn't experience any delays with the purchase aside from waiting for one of the guns to come in stock before I could dros it.

Ummm, they don't tell the FFL why there is a delay so how would they know it was for a late car registration?

Now that sounds believable. That D/L# has a long story to tell not to mention SSN#

I'd still like to hear why they fingerprinted you errr detained you.....whatever.

No bank should talk to you until they have confirmed identity.

This is like you are asking how would the bank know it was even you?

That's a good point, no responsible bank should talk to you about your accounts until that have verified your identity. Likewise the DOJ should not be giving out any info about you if they don't have some way of confirming who you are. I am not sure how DOJ would establish your identity on the phone, since you have not set up any passwords or identifying questions and answers.

My DROS got "Delayed" so I sent DOJ a message from their web site back in early March. Have since gotten the OK, purchased 2 guns (1 hand, 1 long) and yesterday I got a call from DOJ regarding my message. Only 6 weeks too late so I'd say they are quite behind processing anything!
