hello,
I've been reading these forums for a couple weeks now and thought id finally ask a question. I live in michigan and we had a shooting alittle while ago. I just read this article about how he was denied a hangun but could buy a shot gun. Heres the link:
http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/michigan/index.ssf?/base/news-43/1176435649323890.xml&storylist=newsmichigan
so my question is how did he get denied for a handgun? as far as i new when you purchase a pistol or rifle the run your info through NICS. The article says the county denied the permit. how would the county know something the F.B.I wouldnt? It seems like if there was somthing that he'd been convicted of, that denied him the right to own a firearm the federal goverment, at least the ATF would know. and also, if it wasnt something that he'd been convicted of ( which is how he makes it sound) how can they take hi gun rights away?
i think we can all agree this man does not need to own firearms, but the whole story is kind weird.
so any clarification on why this is so would be great
p.s great forums!
