Failed the DOJ Background check...WTF??

[Mike_USMCMotorT]

Well I have to take responsibility for not researching the state laws restricting gun ownership, I guess that is the downside to being new to firearms and regulation. I just feel that if the federal regulations restricting possession of a firearm can be documented on a transfer application, then they can list the state laws as well.

I guess I am going to get denied for the Berretta PX4 Storm that I bought yesterday as well. That's $50 down the drain for background checks and $25 for the damn handgun safety test; plus the $20 it just cost me to send in an appeal, which is doomed to fail. Out $95 and now I have to return over $200 in shooting gear and wait for the refunds on my gun purchases to go back into my account.
I guess this is goodbye already Calguns....until we meet again (hopefully in 7 years).

Just looked at the disqualifying factors for the state of California: http://igundealer.com/finalgraphics/...sdemeanors.pdf. My wife's convictions do not fall under any of these categories nor the federal. We are going to try to purchase the gun in her name.

Thanks so much for the help. I will definitely look into getting an attorney to get this resolved.

"WE" sounds like you are going to break the law. You understand your Battery conviction makes you prohibited from possessing right? You can't touch a gun. You cant shoot a gun. Your wife cannot have a gun that you have access to.

Thanks for clearing that up for me

This. I know it seems like an easy way out to get someone else to buy a gun, but it's not smart, or legal.... I hope you can get a lawyer to resolve this issue for you brother!

5150 is a legal hold. That's mental health right there.

Look into expungment. It essentially wipes away a conviction. Not sure if it would help here, but it might.
