I'm not sure how far i will get, but I'm going to just give them a call tomorrow. All of these answers have been way more then enough lol. Cool to see so many helping out with what info they know

3 months after i turned 18. i had a hotel party, got out of hand, got into a fight, dudes girlfriend called the cops,i got charged with an assault and everything thing they located in the hotel, being i was the only 18 year old. drug paraphernalia, under age drinking, several contributing to a minor, being everyone was 17.. But yea. it was pretty bad. I was put on probation, then moved to GA. ( another big mistake ) in 2002 i tried to join the army, was denied due to having a warrant. so i came back to TN in 2002 to get it all taken care of, i was then sentenced 3 months. The guy at the shop said, its probably because my sentence date does not match up with my charge dates.. i informed him of all this before i bought the gun. I'm now 32, work hard, pay my taxes and raising an amazing family. have been in NO trouble with the law since that time. i would give anything to go back in time and smack my self upside the head a few times No domestic assaults, no felony's not a convict, never been sent to the loony bin... Just someone who made wrong choices and who hung out with the wrong crowd If by chance it gets rejected again, at least i know where i stand, and what i need to do in order to get it all cleared up

I can understand that. not sure how i feel about it. But what ever floats there boat. i sure don't mind paying the 10 bucks for the check. Would have been cool to just require the amount for the check up front. But i guess you gotta pay to play.

I don't believe they will refuse to give me my money back (at least i hope not). I'm more concerned about being excited to finally be able to purchase a firearm, not only to spend time with my son, but also for home defense and that not end up happening lol But hey, you live and learn. just kinda sucks only having a receipt to look at instead of the firearm its self lol But again, thanks everyone for your quick replies

[quote name='CZ9MM' timestamp='1352231215' post='840198'] I could have misread the OP, but I think he is asking why you must "pay for" the gun and then have the check done, vs having the check done and then pay for it. [/quote] Correct. Thank y'all for the quick replies

I'm sure there is a very good reason for this. [b]But why is it a requirement to purchase a gun, then have a background check done?[/b] I purchased my 1st gun last week, and then i had my background check ran, of course it was denied. now im waiting for the appeal to come back I made some mistakes when i was younger. I have a feeling i may not be able to walk out with the firearm. just sucks knowing i have paid for it already Thank you for any answers
