    Im currious why I keep getting a "hold" on firearm purchases. Ive got it narrowed down to 3 things, and am currious which one it is, then have another question about #3.

    1. I haven't updated the address on my liscense, but use the address on my liscense for the check

    2. In march I received a DUI but its gonna get 894 after my 1 yr probation is over

    3. Im on probation for a DUI

    Next question. I was told after I bought my 2nd SX3 and got a delay, that when someone is on probation they couldnt buy a pistol?? I dont believe this, but figured I could get the truth here

    Do you mean Delay or Declined? Are you having to wait or are they denying you the firearm?

    Sorry for the confusion. Delay. I got a delay on the SX3, but was able to get it 3 days later (5 actually, cause they dont count the day you appyl, and its the day after the 3rd after that or something)

    If you are being delayed but getting approved, and you want to know just what is actually on your sheet- you fall into the "request your rap sheet" category.

    After that or independent of that- you then will fall into one of two categories, either the "get erroneous information contested/removed" category, or the "screw it, I'll just get a UPIN" category.

    Dammit, now I gotta figure out what a UPIN is!!!!!

    This purchase (nor are most of mine) any big deal, just the hassle of an extra trip. I used to get delays quite regularly, then I didnt, now the last two have gotten delays. I think tomorrow I may just let the girls mom be Santa LOL

    I plead guilty to a DUI in july 96 under article 894 and I still get delayed.

    I called the FBI to ask why I get delayed and she simply asked me if I had ever been fingerprinted by a Law Enforcement Agency that is why.

    If you figure out a way to straighten this out please let me know. Or find instructions that are in laymen terms. I have extra sets of fingerprints already to go.

    thanks

    Do you put your SSN on the form? Heard of a good many people, including the old police chief getting delayed because someone else had a name similar to theirs.

    My application was also delayed 5 days. I strike it up to a PENDING dui case. No conviction has been made, but I was arrested and booked... so I'm thinking just the fact that our prints are on file threw up a red flag.
