This is more of an informational thread, however, I do want to ask if anyone has any further input.
I was denied for a NICS Brady check for the redemption of my Glock at a pawn shop. I have no felony convictions or domestic violences.
I have not yet recieved the official BATF explanation, but some research showed me that I will be denied for being a DRUG ADDICT. The definition of a drug addict that pertains to me is that I was given a recent conviction for marijuana possession. According to a document I found (an Alasken justice department document of all things), the BATF considers you a drug addict if you have a conviction for drugs of any kind in the last year, or if you have multiple (more than two) arrests for drugs in the last five years if one of those arrests happened within the last year.
There are other criteria that does not pertain to me, such as treatment (court ordered or voluntary) in the last year, any positive drug tests in the last year, or visible signs of drug addiction (needlemarks, for example).
The bottom line is I will need to wait a year to pass Brady. I guess that's doable. It's a damn shame I lost my Glock tho!
Anyone with additional information, please add to this thread. This thread is mostly posted for others in my predicament who will be searching for this answer.
