so 2 days ago i went to a local gun shop to buy my first firearm and got a non-approval. im really irritated because my record is completely clean, i have never been in trouble at all not once! and i currently hold a CWP so i been cleared to carry. i have had multiple background checks for different resons and never a problem, i even hold a commercial pilots lic. so this really bothers me. i do have a VERY common name and i was told by the gun shop that was the reason but it doesnt make sense when i have a CWP i should be able to walk out with it and not have to even do the waiting period.i went to my local sherriffs office and got finger printed and sent in a non-approval claim form or whatever you call it. has this ever happened to anyone?? and if so how did you go about it ? thanks.
