I recently bought a few things and went in to get one transferred at a local shop. Now I had an issue occur maybe 2-3 months back where a newer employee accused me of a straw purchase. This was due to a long delay in receiving my new ID in the mail so I had a member of my household do the initial transfer as the firearm is used by all of us. The employee started on a straw purchase rant but other than that everything went smoothly. Maybe a week or two after I entered the shop and the same employee “informed“ me that the issue with the transfer had been handled.
I have not had any other transfers since then, my backgrounds always been approved within 5-10mins, and I have a spotless record. This time it’s come back as a hold instantly and the staff began acting stranger then initially for the remainder of the transaction. Before I left they informed me that after an investigation I’ll be contacted.
Could this just be a random instance or is it something I should look into? Is there a way to find out if I was falsely reported? If I was falsely reported what legal action can I take?
