handgun appeal

[Guest joey615]

how long does it usually take to get a answer back from TBI?

Sorry, don't really know. But from Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Firearm Background Checks

If during the background check TICS locates a record with outstanding disqualifying charges or charges that are undeterminable as disqualifying, TICS will deny the transaction. Upon an appeal of the denial, TICS will attempt to find disposition information on the charges in order to make a determination of eligibility to purchase a firearm. If TICS cannot obtain the information within the mandatory 15 day limit, the transaction will be marked as a Conditional Proceed. This means that the firearm dealer may lawfully, at his/her discretion, complete the transfer, although it in no way means that the dealer must complete the transfer. Should the dealer choose not to complete the transfer, your only appeal is to the FBI's NICS Appeals Services Unit. You may contact them at (304) 625-1903.

I was denied for some unknown reason about a year ago while purchasing my M&P45c. I have a clean record and had bought a gun less than a month earlier with no problems. So I filed an appeal. About a week later a very nice lady (from TBI?) called and told me there must have been a mistake and it was now fine for me to go pick up my gun.

And she even apologized
