A couple of weeks back I was denied a firearm purchase. I then took the next course of action which was to get into contact with the FBI/NICS appeals services,they said I could fax them a request for information on why I was denied. So I complied and a few days later I receive a written correspondence from the NICS appeals team and it stated..."This letter is in response to your inquiry concerning your denial to purchase or redeem a firearm. By way of background, during a NICS check, our computer system searches several databases which contain records of persons with disqualifying conduct. As a name and descriptive-based system, the computer program is designed to screen individuals with similar names and/or similar descriptive features within certain parameters. Your denial indicates that either you or another individual with a similar name and/or similar descriptive features has been matched with the following state prohibitive criteria based on a state statute; probation/parole restriction; and/or an active warrant for a felony or misdemeanor charge"...{Please Note}...I have the following JUVENILE charges:Theft Under $1000(class A Misdemeanor),Conspiracy 3rd Degree(class A Misdemeanor),Assault 2nd Degree(class C Felony) which was subsequently dropped down to Offensive Touching(class A misdemeanor). I have been on probation as a juvenile yes but I have never been convicted of a felony,nor do I have an active warrant, I'm clean. I often check myself for warrants by calling my local county police and state police as they are two different agencies. Also I have all of my court documents such as juvenile dispositions,restitution payments and court receipts etc...I would like to know what are the proper documents to send? How could I hasten the NICS appeals process? Upon approval will this happen again? If denied would I be able to file an appeal again?
