Alright the appeal was overturned six days after it was submitted. Which was the day before the second came in. The dealer said they would have ran the second even if it hadn't been overturned. I do always include social security though. I can only assume it's either bad luck or someone with the same name issue but again very very uncommon name. Anytime I mention it I get the standard "it happens a lot" response and "Tennessee has the highest denial and overturn percentage". As if that makes it any better even if true. Anyway thanks folks I enjoyed my first post on Tennessee gun owners. Edit: Odd thing is on the second one it was taking so long to process the employee had to call tics/tbi to see what was going on. Like I said above it got approved but still just one more thing.

There's just nothing to clear up. Never been arrested charged indicted sued accused etc. never nothing. No issue with tax stamps, carry permit just random firearm transfer denials. Could be a name thing but again pretty unpopular last name. Because if there was something in my past I'd at least know where to look into. As long as this denial gets overturned which i believe it will at some point I'll be patient one more time but if it happens again I'm going to get a upin I guess. I don't care how many firearms, serialed lowers, cans, stamps I still get relatively excited when it's time to pick up. I spend a lot of time and money "designing", acquiring and assembling all the parts and pieces for my rifles so it's disappointing to say the least when this happens. I've read about some ways to see what's going on but it involves a lawyer and/or more government red tape. I'm certainly still open to suggestions other than just crappy luck I guess. Most of the dudes at the FFL are okayish but even the cool ones don't really give a damn when you get denied nor have an intention of trying to expedite the process by making a phone call that I can't. I'm eventually going to get my own license. I just want to add some more security measures to the house before I apply just to help with the approval. And the biggest load of crap of all is they can deny you a purchase of a firearm but will not inform you as to why. Utterly ridiculous.

I'll keep everyone posted. Hopefully the first gets overturned before the second is delivered. Like I said in the initial post about 1 and 7 get denied. I've got 8 form 4 stamps, 9 form 1 stamps and a carry permit. I've never met anyone with the same last name so it's obviously not very common. I haven't done a lot of firearms transfers. Probably 40ish and getting denied every 7 or 8 sucks.The last transfer was probably three months ago without issue. Just gets old and there's really nothing a person can do to help move the appeal along and no one really wants to help. I'm leaning towards applying for a upin. I'll contact FFL if not approved once the second is delivered.

I purchased an ar lower about a month ago. Things got a little delayed with getting it shipped so it just came in this week. I purchased another lower last week. The first one came in this week an tics denied. I seem to get hit with a denial about 1 and 7ish. It's been a couple days since I appealed and it's still not reversed. I received a notification the second one shipped this morning. Anyone know what's up with transferring a firearm with another on appeal? I'll speak with my FFL but wanted to see if anyone on the board has experience with this.
