Want to buy a gun, but have a DV

WHich is why I qualified my statements and gave either/or scenarios.

If it was a felony in Colorado, he is not eligible under federal law to purchase the handgun, or to even possess one in Texas.

If it was not a felony, then under Texas law he is not prohibited. If it was not a felony but it IS a domestic violence (per federal law) conviction then federal law makes him inelgible.

That's all I was trying to say. Now what about the last scenario? What if he did just try? Would he be subject to arrest or other legal action against him if he tried to buy a firearm and failed the background check.?

If he truthfull answers the questions on the 4473 then I don't belive there is any penalty for being "denied"..

Of course if he were to lie.........
