Re: Denied firearm purchase - 302 at age 14
You need a lawyer as the State Police will probably track you down soon. They've charged several people in my county for the same "crime" and it carries up to a five year prison sentence.
I would not delay getting a knowledgeable lawyer.

Re: Denied firearm purchase - 302 at age 14
Thanks everyone. I didn’t waste anytime reaching out to a few gun law lawyers in the area. I feel I need to be as proactive as possible. I appreciate all your replies and if anyone else has any input or even better, a similar experience I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Now all I can really do is sit and wait to find out if the police want to ruin my life by trying to stick me with my very first charges. And also try to track down any health records that still remain. This is such a bummer.

It’s a good idea to try and recover as many old documents as you can. You might even get lucky and find a mistake. If nothing else’s you will save some legal fees in research costs. Read up on some other 302‘s items as well, you may garner a bit of knowledge and find some case law that could work to your advantage.

Re: Denied firearm purchase - 302 at age 14
Reading OPs comments, I do not see MENS REA (a ‘guilty mind’), and that is one of the things needed to prove a crime was committed. I think the OP would be ok eventually even if charged.
I’m not a lawyer, and OP should definitely get one. I just think he needs assurance that while he COULD be in trouble, it isn’t likely that it will get beyond an honest interview by a cop. But, GET A LAWYER is the best course of action.

Re: Denied firearm purchase - 302 at age 14
OP is not even positive that is the reason for the rejection.. Isn't there a way for him to request exactly why he was rejected? I just forget how because I never needed to

Re: Denied firearm purchase - 302 at age 14
This 302 and similar problem has been around long enough that legislators should be aware of it and should have done something about it by now. The problem is, they obviously consider these situations as collateral damage, and brush it off as too bad, but ain't gonna do anything that looks pro-gun, and they ain't going to.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.
