Hello I need some advice on a delay I just received between two gun purchases.
The first was a .22 I purchased on 7/15 picked up 7/26. No problem.
Second one sks from same dealer purchased on 7/26 (while picking up my 22) he was honest and had to go out of town so I was to arrange for pick up on or around 8/16. Ok with me I feel I got a good deal and the dudes cool.During that wait around 8/3 saw a special on a .44mag and had to buy it. Pick up 8/13 No problem(gun 3).
Now for the funny business. 8/16 comes around contact the dealer he says there is a delay... OK. Wait a few days call him back and no good info. After a brief search I find the doj number to call. Didn't take long to get a hold of someone and gave my dl number then placed on a brief hold. I was expecting it had something to do with my2 dui's( only misdemeanors and already taken care of) but the lady came back asking about an incident with the boarder patrol. It took lots of binge drinking to forget the bs that took place that night but basically my friend had some marijuana in the car we were pulled over by the bp i took it because it was my vehicle and i had a medical card. I don't know what to call it but a third friend drove my vehicle home and we went to bp jail in bfe. I did the best i could with the circumstances all but one guy were not that bad didn't sit in cuffs and we were only detained? For about 4 hours. One of the agents who explained the situation said they would send the"evidence" to a judge and he would throw it out. No problem... Right?
So this is the first I'm hearing back from that and it has been over a year. Lady on the phone says call back in 10 days to see what they decide. Ok... I let her know of my most recent purchase(my first handgun) and how it was ironic I had no trouble there. She mumbles something about how she hoped she didn't approve it pauses for a minute then says I'm going to have to look into this. I say ok and she quickly says bye with no further instruction and hangs up the phone.
Am I safe from any action on their part if a mistake was made or should I be digging a hole in my backyard right now?
