I own a gun and now I'm denied to buy another

Nobody bothered to call me to clarify the situation, when I found out I went to the courthouse and requested my file and they told me they didn't have it and that it was probably destroyed years ago. They also told me that someone else was looking for the file (DOJ). I called the DOJ the next morning and they told me they released the hold.

That's not correct.

On a DELAY you can pick up the gun at a later date, the 5th business day IIRC. State laws may specify longer I don't know. However, the OP said he was DENIED. There is no waiting period on a denial. Denial is a permanent "No!", except for appeal.
