Hi to all,
I need some help. I live in Reno, NV. Over a year ago I purchased a Savage 22-250. I was denied purchasing as my name was “close” to someone else’s name in Oregon with a sketchy past. I went thru fingerprinting and an appeals process and 34 days later I was able to pick up the rifle.
I was assigned a password by the State of Nevada with instructions to never write it down anywhere, they would call me to ask for it so they would know it was me and not the person from Oregon.
2 months ago I purchased a Tikka TAC1 from the same store. As I was filling out the electronic background paperwork a line appeared asking for a UIN number, thinking this is where I put my password I asked at the desk about my concerns that I was told to never write my number down. I was told the only place I’m to write it down is on this form. I did so and 3 days later I was denied picking up the rifle because I had wrote down my password. When I finally got in touch with the state I was told I would have to get fingerprinted again and go thru the appeals process. They said my old fingerprints had to be refreshed to make sure it is really me. I had the appeals form and my new fingerprints hand delivered to their office that Friday.
I’ve spent more than 7 hours on hold, been promised 2 callbacks and received none, I’ve stopped by their office twice and was told no one was available to talk to.
I called a lawyer and they suggested the state is probably busy. I stopped by the store this afternoon and background checks are taking 1-3 days to process.
It’s been 6 weeks since I turned in the appeal and my fingerprints and I feel completely helpless as to how to resolve this.
Sorry about the length, I thank you in advance for suggestions on how to resolve this.
Mike
