So last w/e I tried buying a shotgun at dicks in Delaware. The phone call to check if I was ok came back that they needed further review. It's been a week and I haven't heard anything. I do have a fid and had it with me. I haven't even gotten as much as a ticket since I received my card so what's the problem? Is their a number I can call?

Happened to a cop while I was at a shop last Fri in NJ. Typically just means NICS is down...

What did you try to buy?

NICS has been down for a whole week? I doubt that.

If you are clean then someone is not doing their job somewhere down the line and you are getting the run around.

that is not correct, NJ does the NICS check....it is not JUST the fbi. I always have a 10 minute wait...i called and was told "welcome to NJ" by them

Ok yesterday I went to a gun show in oaks pa. I bought 1 shotgun and it went through fine. I tried buying a 2nd **** gun and got put into research. Because of the other guy with the same name as me

You ever thought about talking to a lawyer about what you could possibly do so this doesn't happen again?

I believe you can get a unique ID number from the ATF to separate you from all the John Smiths in the country who may have committed crimes.

If so, I would think that would eliminate the confusion when doing NICS.

I would definitely try doing that!

your social security # should do that..

One would think that is correct; I don't know why it isn't. The other poster is correct, you can get a unique personal identification to help eliminate confusion.

Thats what I had stated in his first thread. The SECOND box on the FPID application is your SSN. I dont see HOW this could possibly be giving him this much trouble.

Probably because the "Other Guy' may have used his SSN at one time or another as well, they arent all THAT difficult to find out, and are probably pretty similar.

If that is the case, then OP should look into that BATFE card.

He's gotten pulled over and said he was me. Also got caught trying to use my health insurance.

Called the FBI. They are sending me out paperwork. I'm getting a pin number to give them when they do a background check
