Hello all... First post here so bare with me.
So I attempted to purchase my first firearm recently and was notified by MPD that I was denied by NICS. The reason being simply because I've been denied in the past.
In 2008 a family member wanted to buy me a shotgun as a gift. At the time I had no interest in guns and it was a spur of the moment thing... At the time though, I had a misdemeanor possession of Marijuana case pending so I was denied. Didn't care, never thought about the gun again.
In all my research I cant find anything about being denied simply for being denied previously. The initial reason for my denial in 2008 should not prohibit me from purchasing a gun today and I am looking for some input from experienced gun owners about what my options are.
Thanks!
