Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
Correct. It's very possible that I could do quite a bit of actual physical harm to you (no relation), and still be qualified to own firearms (depending on the grading of the crime I were convicted of), and yet be disqualified (if convicted) for merely making a verbal threat against my own wife.

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
"I recently completed a background check when purchasing a firearm, the PICS was extremely slow and was not completed that day (a Saturday). I was told but by the seller since they were closed on Sundays they would call me Monday morning. I received a call in the morning saying I was approved and could come up and complete the sale. I was also told they would need to re-run/renew but it should be completed by the time I arrived. They re-ran/renewed it and was told it went into "Research". 2 days later I was informed that I was Denied. I was encouraged to complete a challenge. I am trying to determine my next course of action."
This whole section I do not understand - I would like to know the complete conversation between the FFL and PICS during the call to get the approval number on that Monday. If you were approved, why or who told them to rerun the PICS? Something does not sound right. If you are approved the number is good (until the FFL closes that day) the day the FFL receives it. No need to rerun the check.
If the FFL used the computer to do the "ePICS" check, the approval goes into a status log for the FFL to retrieve it. When transactions reach day 3 in approved status (day 1 is the day the transaction is initially
approved) a status of “Web Approved – Contact PICS” will display. This status allows dealers to click on the link and launch a re-check within the website without having to call PICS on the telephone. As of 10-1-20 this has gone from 3 days to 7 days.
Just too many things wrong with this situation to try to figure out exactly what happened to you. I would just get the challenge form filled out and sent in.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
The checks get slower , people complain , so they'll raise the fee to expand the staff & upgrade the computers.

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
Most of the people who are criminally prosecuted for "lying" on the 4473, had also sent in the challenge form, and were prosecuted for BOTH the denied 4473 AND the challenge form (with the additional criminal count for "unsworn written falsification", which the form actually warns you about before you sign the form.)
Do NOT use the challenge form as an information-gathering tool. They don't charge a fee for filing it, but it could cost you a whole lot anyway.
Too many FFL's just tell their customers to send in the challenge form if they are clueless about why they were denied. That's horrible advice, the legal equivalent of telling someone to find out if a home electrical circuit is live by touching it with their tongue.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
This has been the gold standard answer to this question around here on many threads for as long as I have been here. I can't quite understand how this wasn't the first response. It reminds me of the continuous improvement teams meetings we had at work 28 years ago. Every meeting ended in consensus and every meeting began with rehashing the same discussions. Nothing much ever got done.

Re: PICS background check denial confusion with M2
Phil,
I understand what you are saying and I will remember that in the future. But, if a person is denied by PICS, and they ARE truly clueless on why they would be denied, and the fact that PICS will not tell them or the FFL why, how does the person find out what the PSP/PICS used to deny them? How else can the denied person find out that information so they can make an informed decision on what to do next?Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member
