Court appearance on December 15 resulted in expungement of involuntary commitment which resulted in a NICS denial (commitment was believed to have been voluntary, over 30 years ago).
The last statement on the court papers reads:
“The Plaintiff is granted relief from federal firearms disability, and the County Adjuster shall take all steps to remove information regarding the civil commitment record from inclusion in the federal National Criminal Background Check System (NICS) databases.”
1. Is anyone aware of any additional forms or actions I need to submit or perform in order to clear a NICS report in the future?
2. if nothing more is required on my part, how long should I wait until I attempt another NICS check? (assuming there is no way to "test the waters")
3. Do I have to wait for a letter from the state or is that just for criminal record expungements?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
