Yep. Before getting my CHL I was denied once. Some guy in PA has same first name, last name, middle initial, and date of birth.MoJo wrote:JALLEN wrote:the likelihood of errors, getting the wrong guy. Knowing how often bad info shows up on someone's credit report, wrong name, wrong numbers, etc. that makes me nervous.That's the most common error in NICS checks according to several FFLs I've talked to. People with common names seem to be wrongly denied more so than those with less common names.
It's not possible to have a cleaner record than what I have. It's the only time I've had an issue with NICS and the "agent" that issued the denial failed to follow proper protocol. So thankful that I have a CHL. I also changed all of my documents to reflect my full middle name instead of just my middle initial.
