Different background checks for ARs vs handguns?
A friend called up yesterday to ask what I knew about the background check process and my response was 'not much'.
The issue he's come across is his son has been able to purchase a couple of handguns over the last year but went to buy an AR this week and was denied.
He has nothing on his record (that he's aware of) but confused that he can pass a background check for a handgun but not an AR. The store did not provide him a reason for the denial. (He does NOT have his LTC so he has to go through the background checks with every purchase)
So my question to you guys is do FFLs have any knowledge of why a person is denied and if so do they have any obligation to say why or are they prevented from saying why?
