    After my home was broken into, I decided to go to my local dealer and purchase a gun for simple home protection. I bought an sd9 ve, which people were telling me was an okay beginners gun. I still have to wait 7 days for the Background check. But I found out later that I still have unpaid parking tickets/citations (speed cameras). My license is active and clear of fines and I have no criminal background at all. I'm just kind of nervous, Will having unpaid Parking tickets effect me buying a gun??

    Please let me know, Thanks

    I doubt it it would impact, but you should pay them because if you don't, you won't be able to renew your tags.

    Yeah I plan on paying them but I just don't want it to deny me purchase of the gun

    Forgive me for repeating this point, but you seem to be having trouble with it - according to your original post (OP), you have already bought the gun, which means you have already passed the federal background check and the state police background check. It's the state check that would have flagged the tickets if they were a reason to deny the purchase.

    Did you misstate the case in the OP, and you haven't yet attempted to purchase the gun, or do you have the gun now?

    Unless the original post has changed, it says he passed NICS, paid for the gun, and is in the 7-day waiting period waiting for MSP to not disapprove.

    OP, unpaid speed camera tickets are a civil offense, not criminal. They will not affect your MSP criminal background check. You must pay the tickets if you intend to renew your driver's license or vehicle registration in MD.

    I made a mistake in the OP, I meant to include the fact the I have paid for the gun, but I have to wait for the background check to come back from MSP. (7 day waiting period)

    I had a fix it ticket for my tag light. Fixed the problem, swung by BA Town had it "ok'd" and mailed it in. Apparently they never received my documentation and my registration was suspended. I was never informed until eight months later when I got pulled over for a suspended registration.
    Pay those tickets! It will ruin your day when you get pulled over for something you have no idea about.
