Hey Guys. I just purchased a Hi-Point 995 Carbine on gunbroker because I can't find one in a store in Northern Kentucky. I have been looking for months.
So I find one on gunbroker that is a reasonable price. I buy it. The card gets run, the sale is done.
It gets transferred over to RLC in Florence and they call me today to go pick it up.
I get over there, pay the transfer fee, check out the gun everything is good. I filled out the paperwork and he gets on the phone to put it all in and BAM.
They put the transfer on hold. He tells me that they don't give any reasons for putting something on hold. If they deny the transfer then I get the chance to appeal it and whatever.
I'm freaking out cause I can't imagine what would cause it to get put on hold.
My information is the same.
It is possible that the City of Birth part got messed up.
I know I was born at St. Lukes hospital but I always get confused if that hospital is in Ft. Mitchell or Ft. Thomas.
I wrote Ft. Mitchell on the form. Guy at the store said that St. Lukes is in Ft. Thomas.
Can that be holding it up?
He said the city doesn't really matter cause alot of people don't remember what city they were born in. Just the state part is important. So I know I got that part right lol.
I am worried that the thing got put on hold cause I have a warrant out for a felony. But holy hell, I haven't done anything wrong.
Can it work like that. Can the NICS or whatever it is called, can it have a record of me getting a warrant put out without me knowing I have a warrant out?
See why I am freaking out? I have a secured job, I can't keep my job if I have outstanding warrants or felonies or anything like that. And I really like my career. I have spent the last 12 years building up my credentials and my clearances and I can't lose that.
I don't even speed for crying out loud. The worst thing I can say is that I let my left rear turn signal be out for like 2 weeks a month ago cause I kept forgetting to stop and buy a new bulb. But I fixed that more than a week ago.
I know this isn't about Open Carry but I don't know where else to look for information. Googling just turns up horror stories about gun shops saying that the transaction was put on hold, and then the gun ends up getting sold out from under the person who already paid for it and so on so I am just getting really stressed out.
I already signed for everything and paid the transfer fee's and everything.
The ATF doesn't have a FAQ I could find that says anything about transactions being put on hold.
Heres the kicker. 2 weeks ago I purchased a Rossi .410/22 combo gun from Dicks Sporting goods (brown stock). 2 weeks before that I purchased a Rossi .410/22 combo gun from Wal-Mart (black stock).
I purchased these because I have 2 sons, they are both at the age where they want to learn to shoot, and they both have done really well with their firearm safety stuff from the boy scouts. I filled out the same form the same way twice in the last 5 weeks, so I am wondering why it's on hold now.
Ok. I'm still freaking out but I think I have typed too much.
I don't know what could pop up that would put my transaction on hold. Any information or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
