I started looking at the original Shield 2.0 but it was difficult for me to manipulate the slide. I could do it but with quite a bit of effort that might be a problem if I ever needed to do it super quickly. The FFL said it’s a recent release. Kind of an extension to the EZ series!

Thank you!! i hope she finds something she absolutely loves.

(I swear I answered this earlier but I can’t find the post so excuse me if I am repeating myself.) lol I bought the Smith and Wesson Equalizer. I hate the name but I love the gun. It’s easy shooting, handling/manipulating, it fits perfect in my hand, and has extended magazines!!

Thanks for all the kind words!! I knew you guys would get it! It was overturned today!! I actually called (even though I know they aren’t supposed to tell me anything!) and got this really sweet woman. I told her I’d pulled my own Toris and there was nothing that should prohibit me. She asked what I saw and I told her. She was like “oh yea, that’s the problem!” It was a misdemeanor (and not one that would prohibit me) but had no outcome attached apparently. She told me to send copies of the judgement and stuff. But before I could even get to the courthouse it was already overturned and the FFL was calling me!! I have to wonder how many people get denied over things that aren’t a prohibitor and just give up because of the embarrassment and hassle! The FFL said it happens a lot! I’m glad to be here and thanks for being so kind!!

Hi all! If I’ve placed this in the wrong place please feel free to move it. I am new here. My name is Miranda and I am a 35yo single mom and registered nurse for the state of TN. I grew up shooting guns and I have possessed a couple but I had never gone to the store to buy my own. After having some things come up missing around my house and some weird occurrences I decided to put up some cameras and also go buy a handgun for self defense just in case whoever’s been slinking around my house decides to come in and get violent. I also scheduled a class at a range. I spent over a month researching and looking at guns. I finally found the one I felt was perfect for me and the local FFL ordered it for me. I went to pick it up Tuesday and almost immediately after the 4473 was sent in I was denied. The lady showed me the “denied” on the screen. I was shocked!!!! Like WTH! I’ve been background checked 10 ways to sunday for my nursing license and state job. I know that I had some run ins with the law when I was younger but absolutely nothing that would make me a prohibited person. I have no felonies, no misdemeanor violence or drug charges, no protection orders, no dui’s, no public intoxications, no open cases, I’ve never been in rehab or a mental institution (I work in one for heaven’s sake)! I even pulled my own Toris report and called my local sheriff’s office to be absolutely sure. The FFL sent in the appeal right then because they also know that I work for the state and thought it was weird. I have never been so embarrassed in my life!! It’s really not a good feeling!! And the waiting is so stressful. I’ve read a lot of the threads here about false denials and they’ve helped me to relax some but I also just needed to vent to people that I knew would understand! Thanks!
