Xchange1980 0 Posted November 7, 2015 So quick preface. I just moved in Sept so I put in for a change of address on my FID and figured id get some handgun permits. It took 42 days(not the best but considering my initial FID took 5 months im ok) SO I get the call to pick everything up on Wednesday. Fast forward to today and I go to buy my handgun and guy says your NICS is coming back delayed,he said you can wait or ill call you. 7pm comes around and they close at 8 didnt hear anything from them so I call and he tells me my NICS was denied?? Im just baffled how this could happen. There is NO reason it should have gotten denied. Now they gave me a NICS Denial Request form which I have to mail to the State Police so they can tell me why I got denied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dino71 7 Posted November 7, 2015 coming from having the same experience you were not denied. About 3 weeks ago I also purchased a handgun and they ran me through the computer at around 7:30 and I was denied twice I think but the third time it finally went through. you have to try and go back again in the morning and hopefully it'll work.

Golf battery 1,223 Posted November 7, 2015 Was it denied or delayed? You said it was denied. Are you sure. That doesnt make sense. Hold up any liquor stores lately? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted November 7, 2015 As a dealer, I would not run a person a second time. It is up to the Denied to ascertain why. It could be a revoked DL, outstanding parking tickets, a warrant, an old TRO, or a mistake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,570 Posted November 7, 2015 I had about a <1% denial rate when in NJ. Here in America, I have so far a 2% rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golf battery 1,223 Posted November 7, 2015 If youre really a good guy. With no bs going on. It could be as misfortunate as an oversite from someone that has your same name or close ss number. I am delayed everytime at least 45 mins beacause of my name. I have the same first last and middle name as my father and he has a ccw license in florida where he lives now. He was prior nj so hes still in the nj system and or federal system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted November 7, 2015 Its a pretty f'ed up system when the state gives you a license after they supposedly check you out and then your check fail. I wonder if the change of address is what is throwing a red frag as in maybe the town knows but the state police doesn't? Obviously you have to follow up and as much as it sucks I would actually bring a lawyers on your side, one who knows guns in NJ. It may cost, but this is not a joking matter.

czechmark 5 Posted November 7, 2015 Sometimes this can be due to dealer error. I was told that my drivers license was "expired" since 1999 when it wasn't. (Nothing to do with NICS) Two days later the store called me to come pick up my gun. There never was an explanation about the reason for the problem.

PK90 3,570 Posted November 7, 2015 really? having a privilege revoked can revoke your rights now?If your DL is suspended, and you used that as your government issued ID, YES. It was not a valid document to use. The dealer would not know that when they ran the NICS. Sent from an undisclosed location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamondd817 826 Posted November 7, 2015 I guess this goes to show that the whole NJ permitting scheme is just a sham, and all that's really needed is a NICS check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xchange1980 0 Posted November 7, 2015 I have bought a gun before with no issues. Nothing has changed I have no record or anything to deny me owning weapons. I just sent out the request for to the state police today to get my answer why I was denied. The ONLY possibility is I have a uncle with the same first and last name but different middle names he was a convicted sex offender,but I would think putting my SS# would avoid that. I changed my address with DMV inline a few weeks ago and the day before I went to purchase the handgun I went to the DMV and had it changed on my license. I would like to get a lawyer but I just dont have the extra money laying around to retain one. I guess depending the outcome of this I might have to. I just think its very odd they just issued me my change of address and permits and then get denied Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,570 Posted November 7, 2015 Wait. How does the address on your permits match in that short of time? Sent from an undisclosed location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xchange1980 0 Posted November 7, 2015 My change of Address was submitted on 9/21 and returned to me on 11/3 I changed my drivers license address maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago online but I had went to the DMV on Thursday to get it psychically changed on my DL everything matched at the point of sale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did the PD accept your application for a change to your FPID or issue permits with your DL exhibiting your old address? Did they just take your word that you moved? ETA: Anyway, if everything matched, that would not be an issue with NICS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xchange1980 0 Posted November 7, 2015 Yes I submitted my change of address before I actually changed my address with the DMV but I think i did show them my lease. SO its a mystery for now as to what made me get denied but Ill find out this week sometime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted November 8, 2015 Outstanding parking tickets? The government can get between you and buying a gun if you have an unpaid parking ticket? That has nothing to do with public safety. That's all about control. This is what happens when you have to ask government for permission to exercise your rights. Think about this the next time you champion right-wing causes such as mandatory E-Verify. You think New Jersey will let you start a job of some municipal clerk made a mistake over a parking ticket or child support payment? Not a chance.

PK90 3,570 Posted November 8, 2015 Yes. If you do not pay your parking tickets, you are breaking the law, a warrant will be issued, and you give up your right to purchase a firearm from a dealer. Just stating fact, not opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
