I was just told something completely different by the dealer by which I was denied through he said 15 business days

I'm a U.S. Army Veteran Honorably discharged for medical haven't even been stopped by the police since 2004 no tickets. hardly ever leave the house and denied today.  Don't understand it I have been buying guns since 1999 Several of them, and even back then i had tickets, had gone to jail for driving on a suspended license and everything and still wasn't denied. But now that i am all "by the book" legal and compliant with everything and no outstanding anything and i get denied?  I kinda feel like it's a "thank you for your service now here's the screwing we didn't get to give you while you were in service still"  bad thing is this was for a gift for my wife. i had taken her in last week and purchased a Bersa .380  and she wasn't comfortable with it but she was with my Smith & Wesson SW40F so i was going to just trade up and get her a Taurus .40 compact. I went into the pawn shop sold them the bersa then started the purchase proceedure for the brand new, still in the plastic,Taurus and there was only a couple dollars difference in the bersa and the Taurus but the $50.00 rebate that Taurus offers right now would have more than covered the difference in the two guns. Problem is that rebate runs out at the end of December and those guns are a hot item right now, but NOPE! Denied  and the counter guy starts giving me all the millions of reasons that it could have been denied up to and including "it's just a bad time of day to be trying to get one of these to go through" (5:00 PM on a Wednesday night) ARE YOU SERIOUS? so she'll probably have to wait till they get another bunch of them in FML!    Bad part about all of this is the shop keeper knows us and knows we aren't bad people but the TBI has to know that too.  I was going to have my son go in and purchase the gun just so we can have it in time to get the rebate but the shop keep says that the TBI will kick out and fail anyone that applies with that same address once any of them have failed and now my son is worried that he may not be able to take his CCL this weekend because his weapon is registered here too at the same address.    (to be quite honest i kinda like that taurus quite a bit myself, would make an Excellent Concealed Carry weapon)
