ATF nfa question

Legal & Second Amendment
1

I am searching for anyone that can help with an issue I have encountered when trying to purchase a suppressor.

The atf is denying me because of a disorderly conduct violation 40 plus years ago at the age of 17.

After trying to locate the said charge here in my state and county no one in the courts have any information on this said issue? In fact my record shows the only misdemeanor I have on record is vehicle tickets, ie speeding , stop sign???

Yet the atf and fbi are trying to correlate this issue with domestic violence it seems??? What’s alarming is they do not even have any evidence or information other than a card with my fingerprints saying misdemeanor disorderly conduct back in 1978……….

I have appealed, I have sent paper work and yet no one with the administration wants to listen? I have never been before a judge or court etc…. With a single case???

Anyone that can help or have information to support would be greatly appreciated!

god bless!

Mlg!

I had the same thing happen to me when I went for my CCW Permit. The letter I got said I was denied and if I wanted to appeal, I would have to make an appointment with the sheriff and that’s what I did. When I talked to the sheriff, he looked at me and said how long ago was this? I told him that he looked back at my record and said this was 50 years ago so I got my CCW permit.

Robert,

Funny thing with my situation is I have been purchasing guns since I was 18, and have my cdl , but what’s most interesting is I had my firearms license to sell years back that was approved by these same people?

I spoke with the people at the atf and all they can say is I need to locate the case and send in a letter of the case and what the outcome was??? How can I do that when there are no records of this incident???

Call an attorney, because there IS record of the case apparently…..

Someone here may know the proper legalese route to finding that information, but directly speaking to an attorney will likely resolve it faster.

I think you need to go higher up the totem pole. In my state it is the county sheriff.

Everyone, thanks for info, I have reached out to an attorney, however the costs have placed reservations on my budget…. I say this because I have been to the court house, spoken the legislation in our capital and the outcome has been there is no record of the event! I guess my fear is the lawyer will come to the same conclusion and money spent on something I already learned!

Now if a lawyer can help in speaking to the fbi atf etc to learn more about their reasoning and change the process, I would be happy to hire!

Again thank you all so far for your advice and help!

Curious if THEY can produce the info so that you don’t have to work for it, as a start.

How can they deny you your stamp if the record doesn’t exist. I would ask who found it to show it to you. Maybe write your congressman.

Robert,

Exactly , all they’re telling me is they need a resolution to the so called case? And that’s where I have been stopped by all my states legal system, no case , no history of a case no resolution???

So that’s my problem, and I asked the fbi and atf for more information and all they gave me was a picture of a card saying disorderly conduct misdemeanor in 1978!

So they have nothing either ???

Frustration is only part of what I have gone through!

Hope it works out for you.

Did you get arrested and fingerprinted in 1978 for disorderly conduct?

If yes: there is more than just that card on record.

If no:
A) It could be a case of misidentification, maybe your name or SSN was typoed on the form 4?

B) Possibly a case of identity theft or fraud.

Triple check that all your information is correct down to punctuation.

Contact an attorney and good luck gunner!
