I'd like to start by saying that I wasn't sure where to post this, hope it's not a problem. New here, warm hello to everyone on the forum. I'll start with a little background Information:
First and foremost, my criminal record only contains a battery charge, of which is not domestic.
I always get delayed, have for years.
Purchased an xds in December 13, delayed but approved.
Purchased a rifle in January 14, oddly approved instantly.
Purchased two sigs in February, one delayed, one instant approval.
In early March I decided that I wanted to get a single shot .22 for when my son becomes old enough to learn to shoot. The nice came back delayed which is common for me. The next day I'm called back with a denied status. Blew my mind, I was confused and concerned. Filed for a request of denial. Checked my driving record, criminal record, checked for warrants and restraining orders. Nothing. Everything is the same as it's been for 10 years.
My reason for denial comes back stating "illegal possession of firearm by domestic batterer". Obviously a I knew this wasn't the case, got my prints sent in and figured there was a case of mistaken identity. Immediately I get a response saying that the prints match and that I'm still denied unless I show proof that the records they have are incorrect.
I get certified court documents showing proof that my battery charge was not domestic. Had the detective in the records division of the police department give me copies of my police report and criminal records. All was faxed in that day to nics.
Today I get a letter stating that I'm still a prohibited person, and that I need to have my rights restored in order to remove the denial from my record. I'm completely lost on what to do here, something just doesn't seem right. I called the DOJ to try and a better explanation but was blown off.
Has anyone else had to deal with a completely erroneous denial like this? Not sure if I have the cash and time to hire an attorney and have this fought. Also, should I not be in possession of the dozen and a half guns that nics has approved me for over the years? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated at this point.
