erroneous NICS denial, what about CHL ?
I have never been in any trouble with the law other than minor traffic violations.
about 8 years ago I had a bunch of unpaid traffic tickets in new york with scoff unanswered. also got an unlicensed operation charge, due to suspension from unanswered tickets. I hired an attorney who took care of all the traffic tickets, got most of them thrown out or reduced to non moving violations. the unlicensed operations charge was dismissed.
my driver's license is now 100 % clear with no violations on it and has been for a couple years now. (got a speeding tic the other day for the first time in 6 years, but I have an attorney working on this)
anyway, I tried to purchase a second gun the other day and got a NICS DENIAL (almost instantly). Needless to say, I was shocked.
I retained an attorney who specializes in this to file the appeal and get this solved, but he said this can take up to 5 months !!
I would like to get my CHL, however now I am concerned. Should I go ahead and try it, or wait up to 5 months (possibly longer?) for the results of my NICS appeal before I do anything ?? Will my NICS denial automatically deny me for the Texas CHL?
I have read all the Brady law disqualification list (as well as the Texas CHL stuff), and there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that I should be denied. However, that didn't stop the NICS ....
Please advise.
