Delete comment from: The War on Guns
I have a (old, old, old) juvenile record for joyriding (prior to the 1968 GCA) on my record, and was denied a gun some time ago. The conviction was set aside in 1965, and my civil rights were fully restored. I went through the denial procedure with the FBI. It took three months, some additional expense on my part (but not anything like what a lawyer will charge), and i was finally told to pick up my gun and that the hold information had been expunged from my file. I have purchased guns since, and breezed through the process without any additional problems.
Sometimes the process works as designed, so try it out. That this b******t is on the books is a sad commentary about the times in which we live, and that I've felt somewhat violated by it is a given, but, again, it'll have to do until we can get the JBTs out of our lives forever.
