Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
The catch here is - PICS doesn't tell the sheriff for the reason of denial. Doing so would violate Federal law.
All the sheriff can do is say, "You are denied because you failed the PICS check."
But I guess he could look a person's records up on his own, but most just roll with PICS.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
Can requiring or requesting two references unrelated to the applicant that produces an opinion the applicant's reputation indicates s/he should not be carrying a gun stop the licensing of the applicant? And if so, and challenge does not alter the information, does the sheriff have the responsibility and authority to deny the license?

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
Yes, but in that case there is no "challenge form" submitted, because PICS does not issue denials based on "character and reputation". The Sheriff himself does this, and does, by statute, have the responsibility and authority to do so.
A denial for that reason requires an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas within 30 days. I do know of a very small number of cases where having an attorney contact the sheriff directly resolved the issue without a court proceeding, but that is exceedingly rare and there is no statutory basis for a sheriff to "change his mind" once a revocation or denial has been initiated.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today!

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
I believed the structure of my question sufficiently indicated that I was referring to the sheriff's response to the sheriff's application for LTCF. There is provision to challenge a sheriff's unilateral turn-down.
