Are you shady looking?
You think you're the only one buying a gun these days?
Are you providing your SSN on the 4473? Do you have a security clearance? Have a common name or a relative with a similar name who is questionable?
When I started getting delayed, I applied for a UPIN. I suspect the fact that I have a cousin born in the same month and year who has a questionable background caused me delays. on the advice of Lou45, I got the UPIN and have not had an issue since.
Just my experience. YMMV.
You probably have the same name as, or very similar to, someone prohibited. Call NICS and ask. You'll need the NICS Transaction Number or State Transaction Number from your FFL. NICS can give you a UPIN for next time, as already said above.
Did you get an expungement? If yes, you'll probably need a lawyer to figure out who has outdated info and to get it removed.
You know what, now that you say that it makes sense. I had an issue with an application for something non gun related and apparently there’s another person with the same name and a close birthday to me in md.
How do I apply for a upin?
Thanks for your input !
