DOJ - Prohibited Persons

[JDay]

Let's assuming that you are correct and that the DOJ interprets the terms of my probation as I'm in treatment for alcohol. Alcoholism is still not a prohibited category. Narcotics addiction is, but there's no mention of alcoholism.

Look at the form 4473 next time you fill it out. You checked no to the box that asked if you are an alcoholic and/or an unlawful user of narcotics. Alcoholics are barred federally from possessing firearms. It's also a federal crime to falsify anything on that form.

Yea, like being behind the wheel when intoxicated. Sorry, but you are in denial and trying to blame your irresponsible behavior on being "at the wrong place at the wrong time". I'm not trying to criticize or belittle you. You just need help and you won't get help until you recognize the fact that you need help.




Where they still on active probation? Also, it could be nothing more than a mistaken identity. DOJ, under Harris, has gone way overboard requiring that anybody in question get a livescan done to prove that he/she is not a prohibited person. It's quite possible that your irresponsible and dangerous actions have nothing to do with being denied. Just wait for the letter and, while you are waiting, do a little soul searching.

BTW, you're lucky you were caught by a LEO. My mom, sister and niece were hit by someone "at the wrong place at the wrong time" once. He did his time and was out walking the streets before my mother had learned to walk again. So, if someone like me had found you "at the wrong place at the wrong time", you might not have been lucky enough to drive again, period. Please, please, realize that you do need help taking responsibility for your actions and then, get the help you need.

He doesn't want a lecture bro, he just wants to buy a gun.

I got a delay in 2013 that lasted a month until I proved a charge from 2006 and probation were dropped and completed from queens New York. I bet like JDay said above Until your off probation you will get denied.

Doesn't matter. You claimed that all DUI convictions come with mandatory AA, and that's just not true.

I stand corrected. I should revise my statement. All DUI convictions in the county of Los Angeles are required to complete a certain number of AA meetings.

So do many other substance abusers who are in denial.

I'm not deflecting responsibility and take full responsibility for all of my actions. What do I need help for? Alcoholism? I have a drink once every couple of months.

Where they still on active probation?

I'm not certain. I did read through the terms of my probation and there is no mention of firearms.

BTW, you're lucky you were caught by a LEO. My mom, sister and niece were hit by someone ?

I'm so sorry to hear that. That's truly horrible.

Really? Are you kidding me? Substance abusers? You've never had a beer, a glass of wine, or a shot of whiskey?

There's a difference between having a few drinks and having drinks and getting behind the wheel of a 2000lb projectile while intoxicated. And apparently the court believes you have a problem, hence the AA.

Correction - 5,170 pound projectile.

[JDay]

Correction - 5,170 pound projectile.

And you don't see a problem with that? In fact you appear to be bragging now.

OP, just wait for DOJ letter, don't getting work out yet. Most likely mistaken identity

Bingo! Couldn't have said it better.

This is the type of drunk driver who will keep doing it until he kills someone or cripples them for life. A gun is not the only thing he shouldn't have. He shouldn't have a car, either.

[LowThudd]

Wow. OP, you are not showing much humility about this issue. I would just take suggestions from people here and accept it. Your denial of the severity is a little troubling.

Not bragging, just correcting you.
