legal gun purchase quandry

[blahr97]

Hypothetical situation:

A person goes into a gun store to purchase a firearm. This person recently had their rights restored in court and has a copy of the court order to prove it.

When filling out the form there are a number of quetions you have all seen

Have you ever done this?

Have you ever been guilt of that?

etc

One of those issues was the reason he had lost those rights originally
and thus he had to answer yes to the question even though his rights had been restored and the offense expunged from his record.

The people in the store then informed him that they could not, under any circumstance even run the PICS check if he answers yes to any of those questions, and that since he had the matter expunged he should go ahead and write no.

He tells the gun store folks that writing no when it was not true is a felony,
but they tell him that since his rights were restored and the offense expunged, he can write no, and that in fact writing no is the ONLY way he can purchase a gun.

they proceed to show him on the back of the application form that they are correct. And indeed they are. They can NOT do a PICS check at all if the applicant answers yes to any of the questions. It says so right on the form.

He then calls his lawyer that helped him get his rights back and asks what he should do and the lawyer tells him to go ahead and write no on the form, but then to attach a copy of the court order and an explanation to the form.

IS THIS OK???
