Delayed for pistol purchase

[scotty_MK9]

Hello all. I recently found a prestine condition smith 686-4. CAme with original grips and box. Yesterday i filled out the usual paper work. Problem is, I stupidly got in a bit of trouble and was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of failure to transfer firearms. I Had a good lawyer but got 3 months of house arrest.

My lawyer made it so i didnt lose any of my gun rights. So i am allowed to keep my firearms and shouldnt have any trouble buying any. So like i said, i filled out the paper work (i am allowed 4 hours per week to go shopping ect) and even told the officer at jail alternatives that i was going to be picking up a firearm that day. This is the first time i have been delayed. Is anyone knowledgeable on this subject? Do you think they will proceed me, or do you think they will deny? This is the first timei have been in trouble for anything legally. Sorry for the rant but i am curious. Thanks guys

Is the charge still pending in anyway, or is there a condition if you fail to abide by the house arrest condition.

If the charges are indeed misdemeanors then there shouldn't be an issue and they should proceed. Most likely this charge raised a flag and they are just researching further. Doing their due diligence.

In Washington at least in my dept we're now required to wait for a response on the mental health check which sometimes takes longer and would require a delay. It could be that in which case you got no issued, just a longer wait. All the shops used to love me because I would get approvals back to them in hours rather than days. I never ever received a decline from the mental health check. Now it usually takes several days to a week to get that response.

How did you manage to get caught not transferring a firearm.

no charges pending, everything is already done with but im only a week into my house arrest. Hoping it will only take another day or two to sort out because i am well known as a gun buyer and have always gotten a proceed right away.

I sold a buddy two pistols and later on he ended up getting a warrant and when they pulled him over they found the pistols. In the glove box was a bill of sale that we just wrote on a piece of paper. So they knew i had sold him the guns without going through an ffl. Lesson learned....

i will call the ffl tomorrow and see whats up. Im really anxious to get this snubby pre lock 686! Hope i they dont take too long.

So you are a "well known GUN BUYER", I am confused, is this a way of being a dealer without having a FFL? Do you just buy guns with the intention of re-selling and making a profit?
It sounds like you should get a FFL.

It means just like i wrote it... i buy guns from local gun stores all the time. Most of them know me beacuse i buy guns from them often. Not sure why you are implying i buy guns only to sell them on the street...
Now if i said i was A WELL KNOWN GUN SELLER, then your smug comment might actually make sense. Maybe pull the stick out your a$$ buddy? Thanks.

Easy fella's, don't make me come down there.
I didn't read the comment as smug. Reading it one way it makes perfect sense, reading it another I'm a well know gun buyer too, a frequent flier as it were. Lately I'm a frequent hanger arounder but don't buy so much.

You should be ok, sounds like you got a dedicated person who wants to make sure all it well. Government works in strange ways sometimes and many government employees should be working at Walmart, actually a I know a few who do now.

sorry i probably replied a bit harsh... But to me saying im a known gun buyer meens just that... gun stores that i buy from know me because i buy a lot of guns. Nowhere did i say that i SELL a lot of guns which i dont. The two that I stupidly did sell to a friend i got in trouble for, and am paying my debt to society. Not much else i can do other then that.

Hey now, don't make me come up there. We retired federal workers need something to do in our spare time (which is usually all day). I just recently retired from my position at the gun club and was thinking about Walmart. I can sit at the entrance and say "Welcome to Walmart" a few hours a day...It's just the smil'in part that prevents me from applying.

FYI, Walmart is doing away with the "Greeter" jobs.

Around these parts, you can get a job right now sitting on a corner wearing a Statue of Liberty costume, advertising Liberty Tax service. Just have to wave a sign, no smiles required.

I've been looking forward to being a Walmart Greeter. They did away with them then brought them back, now I understand they are changing the duties but are trying to find something else for the old, handicapped people to do.
They want them to do some clean up, be able to lift 30 lbs or something.

I can do that.

As much time as we spend at Walmart here at the department, they should have the greeters be security which I think they originally did, they'd check receipts kind of like Costco and stuff.

They'll probably snatch it away from me. I think I'd be a good door greeter. I've been practicing for years.

"Welcome to Walmart, get your stuff and get out" I changed a word or two for the family forum.

A note on the back of a napkin from AOC's bartending gig is good enough here in Florida for selling a gun. Reading this is just another reason I think leaving Washington state in 1992 was a good idea. Unfortunately, Florida is getting a deeper and deeper shade of blue each election.

Yup Washington is swirling the drain. East the mountains in the land of Alfonse they are talking about splitting the state in two. Far right over there, broken left elbow left on my side. Too many California transplants.
Oregon is suffering from the same affliction.

So much higher population density on the west, east don't have any say hardly at all. If they do split, guess they have tried it since about 1905, I'll be relocating asap.

Back in the day they called it "The Plague".
