I have read over my state's laws, and i am still unclear as to whether or not i can own a firearm. I really would rather not endure the disappointment of being denied at the gun shop.

Who should i ask about this matter? Should i inquire at the courthouse or sherrifs office, or should i run a background check on myself? Where can i obtain a background check that would give me this information?

Why is it such a pain for a citizen to find out what he legally can and cannot do?
