I see it is your first post, so WELCOME!Richardk wrote:I was denied the purchase of a handgun for misdemeanors, one being joy riding when I was 17 about 19 years ago, and the other a DWI 10 years ago.
I have bought multiple guns, but all of the sudden I was denied.
Does this mean I cant get a CHL?
It is more likely you were denied due to someone else having the same name or a similar form of mistaken identity. A NICS check doesn't explain why you were denied; trying to think through things in your own background to come up for a reason is fruitless.
You can follow up with a NICS appeal here: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/a ... peals-home" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If there is conflicting information -- like an identity mistake -- you can always go the "Voluntary Appeal File (VAF)" route where you get a UPIN that gets you cleared for NICS checks in the future.
