Maybe my saga will help. This is what I did after a delay in buying a firearm.

I doubt he did. Probably just used one of those background check services that people use to screen their Internet dates with. Doesn't tell ya much if anything.
The only wrong information on an nics check would be put there by you. If you think you have to run a background check to see if you are a prohibited person you best stay away from a gun store until you clear up your own confusion. A little white lie on a 4473 is very costly. Look at the 4473 online, search batfe form 4473, all the questions you need to answer are on that form. It is kinda like a computer...if you don't know what the answer is and the computer asks if you are sure you want to answer that way, it is time to stop answering questions and go find out what the facts are from someone that does know the answer. A law office would be a place to start as well as your state police barrack. Never say yes if you know the answer to be no and vice a versa. If you feel you are a prohibited person contact a lawyer to see how and if any prohibitors can be excised from your record. Many states have a mechanism that can allow most prohibited persons to have firearm rights restored. Lying on a 4473 is a federal felony which would be a lifetime ban after conviction so do not do it. You will get caught!
You either are very confused or have no idea what the hell you are talking about. You do understand that NICS quite frequently denies persons wrongly all the time? That is why there is an appeal process.

Wrong, you need to read my link in post #3. Info is always screwed up when it goes thru multiple parties. I have yet to get the same answer from any agency spokeperson or individual. It is always a little different. At the time of my purchase of a pistol, a FBI agent that I knew only thru a one time introduction years before was denied outright prior to me. He had come into pick it up 2 weeks after. I took him that long to get his record cleaned up. Mine took much longer. but I got my Firearm that day, 5 days after I paid for it. Now with my UPIN, same day I pick up my weapon.
You clearly do not read very well or very thoroughly. Go back and read my post again and see if my statement said "don't lie on a 4473". My god this site is full of dullards too. Instead of jumping to conclusions as you do simply jump in a pile of crap. You may come out smelling better at the end.
Ya know what fella...your post sounds like you were doing a "background check" on yourself over the Internet. For what purpose. Your post could mislead someone into thinking they can check their background info on the Internet. Can't be done! Now then if you want some poor sucker to spend time in a federal prison go ahead and do all the silly ass Internet checks you want. Someone will read your op and think he can check the Internet for prohibitors and if he comes back clean he can tell the federal court that his Internet check came back clean and therefore he shouldn't be sentenced to five years in prison because he read it on a gun forum. Does this clear it up a bit. Your op said nothing bout upins.
I bet people love having conversations with you.
and for the record this is his "original post" and it clearly state upins
No one enters data but me?
You are the only one jumping to the conclusion of someone lying on a 4473. Good grief. The OP's question was what does a person do about incorrect information that is in the NICS system. You seem to be under the absurd impression that the NICS database is 100% accurate and that "The only wrong information on an nics check would be put there by you." I have no way of putting any information into the NICS system. People fill out 100% accurate and truthful 4473's every day, are in no way prohibited from possessing or buying firearms, and get denied by NICS - sometimes even after very recently previously purchasing a firearm for which they were approved. That is exactly why there is an appeal process in place.
The form 4473 is used to retrieve information from NICS, not enter information into the NICS database.

Funny, I fill in parts of the 4473s almost every day. The form doesn't stop where the buyer signs and dates. It goes on for another page and a half plus. Part of that info is part of the NICS check info needed to get an Approval ( A ), Conditional Denial ( CN ), or Denial ( D ). And like others, we've had permit holders, cops, and corrections officers denied atleast temporarily due to the NICS check system problem. A system crash of the computer database will generate a CN and a 3 day wait at minimum.
Hello, Ginoholt:
First thing, I see that you just signed this month and this is your first post, so I just want to say welcome.
Second, an internet check is kind of generic and will return all sorts of results and has nothing to do with what is on NICS. My understandingng is that only LE and FFLs can access it. Surprising no one else pointed that out early on.
If you really want to know what NICS has to say about you I suggest you go to a gun shop and pay to have them to check for you. It should only take a few minutes.
Regards, JayP
