Added a nice shiny felony to my record shortly after turning 18 for burglarizing a flea market. I know I know....been walking around with that shame over my head like a black cloud for a long time. Been in absolutely no trouble after that. I’m 32 now so that makes it 14 years since then. Last year I got my record expunged. After waiting for months and jumping through hoops, Indiana state police finally approved my conceal carry permit. So naturally I assume I’m finally a legal citizen and able to legally carry. Go to a local ffl gun shop and attempt to purchase a sig p320 m17 for my first handgun. NICS denied me. After about a month I get a warning letter from the ATF telling me not to attempt to gain access to a firearm again. I call the agent that sent the letter and spoke with him about the details of my expungement. He confirms the ATF recognizes Indiana’s expungement law as being restorative to gun rights and basically tells me to give it some time and try again. I wait another 45 days and try again only to be denied a second time. Anyone else have issues getting NICS to honor an expungement? They’re over 2 years behind processing appeals and I’ve already waited 14 years to do this right.
