Hello All,
I was denied a firearm purchase by my local dealer after the NCIS check came back. I called the Maryland State Police Department to find out the reason behind my denial, and it turned out that the state of Maryland barred me from purchasing a firearm until I am at the age of 30, because of an Assault charge I caught back in high school. This incident was over 6 years ago and since then I have had no run in with the law besides of a couple of speeding tickets. I'm told that I can appeal this decision and have also heard that my chances of overturning that decision is slim. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? Would it be worth my effort to submit an appeal? Any comments/opinions are appreciated. Thanks
