Hey all, new member here. I know that there are a lot of DROS denial threads but I have not been able to find one addressing my specific circumstances.
Recently attempted to DROS a sweet .40 P226 and was denied. I received the letter from the NICS stating that I was denied due to a being subject to a restraining order.
4 years ago, my now ex gf filed a temporary restraining order against me to force me to move out of our shared house at the time after our first breakup and lied on the documentation about me being abusive.
4 years later we're not together anymore but we dated up until early 2017. I am the co-signer on her car loan and she works at my previous employer where I helped her get a job. She admitted that the TRO was a mistake and overreaction on her part, but I figured the past is the past... until I tried to DROS my new gun.
I was never served and the TRO was dismissed by the judge. I went to the courthouse and got a copy of the case file and was intending on submitting the court documentation through the NICS appeal form(https://forms.fbi.gov/nics-appeal-request-form) as proof that the restraining order was temporarily granted but ultimately dismissed and proof of service was not filed and I am therefore no longer subject to a restraining order for over 4 years now.
Does this sound like the right course of action for something like this? Should I also submit car loan documentation showing that I was in fact with my ex in 2017, 3 years after the TRO and therefore couldn't be under a restraining order or just leave it with the court documentation? I don't want to raise flags about still being in contact with her, even though we're still friends and supportive of each other. Just trying to navigate this myself without an attorney if possible. Am I missing anything?
