Hi, I'm new to this & haven't done the forum thing in a while.
I decided a couple months ago its time to own a gun. They were holding a gun show at the expo center so I figured what better place to purchase a firearm. I get denied. I wait & call and find out why I got denied, its because I got into a fight with my older brother over 10 years ago (i was 15) and I was sent to a mental facility for like 5 days after a good ol' hospital stay. I've never been arrested, never had a ticket (that wasn't dismissed(no insurance)). I don't understand how this bears any weight on whether or not I am entitled to owning a gun, but it does. Please, if you can give me some insight, a phone number or path to take in attempts to appeal this I would be grateful. Thanks.
