  1. Hey guys, I’m a brand new member. Just got my first gun (self defense carry) in April. After taking handgun safety class to be a responsible owner, I was hooked. I immediately joined a range where I shoot several times per week. I’ve inherited two antique handguns of high value that aren’t meant for regular shooting. I wanted something “exciting” to shoot and after hours upon hours of research I opted for an AR15. The same research also revealed to me that I did not want to pay local gun shop prices for one ( did not want to & honestly can’t afford to). i contacted a local FFL to ensure they didn’t mind doing the transfer & to inquire their fees. All things going well thus far. I went to said FFL after placing the order because I needed some 9mm ammo. When talking to him, I informed him that I had a scare when buying my first gun at Academy Sports. My purchase was initially denied on a Saturday, then Monday morning they called saying I could come finalize the transaction & pick up my gun. He then informed me that if the transaction were denied initially, then changed to “Conditional Proceed” it would cost me an additional $50 on top of the original $50 transfer fee. Here is what I’m really wanting to know: if a purchase is denied but then allowed to proceed less than 48 hours later, is this really a “conditional proceed”. Everything I’ve read about conditional proceed mentions a 15 day timeline. Given mine only took 48 hours, it makes me believe it was overturned in a different manner. Im concerned about this. If the same thing happens again then I’ll be looking at a $100 FFL transfer fee. If he has to hold on yo the gun for a couple weeks, I can see a small bump in price. But to double the fee from $50 to $100 just to keep the gun 2 days….. is there any way I can check my status before time to go pick up the gun? It’s already en route to the FFL. If not, please advise if there is a difference between TICS denial being overturned & a conditional proceed? I’ve been arrested one time for failure to appear in court. I got a seatbelt ticket and forgot about it until a year later when I was pulled over and informed I had a warrant. There is NOTHING on my record that could prevent firearm purchase and no reason my background check should cause trouble. Since it happened once though……
