If he was able to provide everything the DOJ requires regarding residency, and the FFL was careful to make sure there was nothing expired, that leads me to believe the buyer is prohibited for other reasons.

If the buyer has lived in OC for a while, you can spend $1.00 on occourts.org and look up his OC criminal history. It will even show you some restraining orders.

I believe the LA court system has as similar, though not as user-friendly system.

If money has already changed hands and all the proper paperwork filed, isn't this now HIS problem? Curious as to why you even have to get involved.....

Why are you trying to solve his problem? You sold the gun in good faith, he failed the background check, pick up the gun and move on. If you feel you need to give him part of the money back then do so, but it isn't your responsibility to solve his denial issue.

Then you're off to small claims Court. More wasted time and energy unless you have an executed document from the buyer stating he forfeits his payment if he fails the background check. Keep a $100 for your time and trouble and refund him the balance.

I don't even think he would prevail in small claims court. He would have probably already known beforehand that he would fail a background check. You don't get issued a TRO and expect there to be no repercussions...

Ten days later, I received a phone call from my FFL saying the transfer was denied.

The buyer was a "prohibited" person.

As the seller, there is nothing you personally can do to resolve the buyers legal issues. The gov agencies involved will not even speak to you, as a non interested party.

If the buyer chooses to resolve his issues with DOJ. He has to jump through many hoops, file many forms, with multiple agencies, and pay the fees for those filing requests.

It may be as simple as mistaken identity. Or as complicated as out of state court docs that were not entered into a database correctly.

Either way, your buyer now has other problems if they in fact already own firearms that are listed with DOJ.

He can expect a "knock knock" from APPS in his future.
