Crap happens. The computers could have been down at that very moment. Someone with a similar name could have gotten in trouble and the computer flagged it. Then the operator couldn't distinguish between you and the prohibited person, or if whatever charges/convictions are prohibiting.


If you know you have a squeaky clean past, then there is nothing to be concerned about. If you still get denied, you just challenge it.

It's not a matter of "harder" or "easier." The same backround check system is used for purchasing and for the LTCF, but they run a new search each time, and sometimes it takes longer to verify.

That might have saved you from Cabelas high prices.

Odd thing I went to two places because one of the of the places didn't have the xd I wanted so went to another place and got a research ? Is it really a hit or miss.
I gotten an instant approve and a hour drive later I get a research .
The last ffl I went to said my last name is comon ,
I hate waiting games .Feel like the kid waiting on Santa clause to bring my gifts .

Update :
I went to another place and over heard the conversation and they have me on delay status because they actually keep track of how many times a individual goes though pics and or nics .they stated I applied to many times ,
Now 5 of those times 2 were approved 3 are in research status .i intend to buy all of these .
I thought there's no limit to how many you can buy .
The place where I got my handgun didn't want me to purchase two firearms and said he didn't want to fill out the ATF paperwork .He had told me to go to another dealer and buy from him ?of course I left and went to two other dealers.
And one today .
I called the psp gun department and research and they're explained that too many enquirys and slow down the procces .
What are your thoughts on this .

I think it is utter nonsense. I purchased 9 guns in 2 months, 3 on the same day without a hiccup.
