Shipped a SW40VE to a local FFL and got DELAYED... few questions

[syvil]

Hi All,

I'm new here I just purchased my first handgun a SW40VE from an online retailer and had it shipped to a local FFL dealer in my area. I filled out all the paperwork and after a phone call to the FBI he said it was delayed and if he didn't hear anything back by Saturday I could in and pick up my gun. I provided all my correct info and SS#

Back in 2002 when I was 17 years old I was charged with a Class A misdemeanor for interfering with a 911 emergency call... long story short when I was in high school I was at a party and a fight broke out. Someone said they were calling the cops I grabbed their phone and told them it was resolved and over they called anyway and I was slapped with that charge when the cops showed up and that person told the cops what happened. I spent a night in jail and my very unhappy father bailed me out the next day. I paid a $500 fine and haven't been in any trouble since.

GC §411.172. ELIGIBILITY
(8) has not, in the five years preceding the date of application, been convicted of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or equivalent offense or of an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense;

Since 2002 I have not been in any kind of trouble besides a few traffic tickets and a car accident that was not my fault and have no outstanding tickets or warrants so I shouldn't have any issues. I'm just wondering is my misdemeanor is most likely what flagged my FFL transfer.

Thanks in advance.

That's CHL eligibility. It's been more than 5 years anyway so you're fine.

Who knows why you got delayed. Happened to me several times before I got a CHL. Frustrating.

1st rule of any party is GTFO before the cops show up.

I used to get delayed too, before I got my CHL (that was also delayed). It doesn't mean anything... you just have to sweat it out a little.

If getting delayed is a regular thing and you don't want to get a CHL, I think the ATF has a form for that.

I'll just have to wait it out.

Trust me I learned this the hard way

I'm not worried about it just wondering really since this is my first purchase

I agree

This is my first purchase but I plan on getting my CHL after this
