Academey Sports arrest

[topgunz1]

never been delayed, but only got a few from dealers and the rest were private party. none of my coworkers have mentioned a delay either.

Either way this guy acted like an idiot and earned what he got.

and it could be that he is currently going through a divorce and the wife's Lawyer filed a restraining order as part of the divorce proceedings. That will get you a denial to proceed.

It could be as simple as a slightly common last name or a twic card. It is very random. From the sound of the article however it doesn't seem like it got that far. I would bet that he flubbed up his address or something else on the paperwork. If you make a mistake they have every right to refuse to sell to you.

It is peculiar so many LEO's get declined.. Most realize it's going to happen and just accept it.. Apparently this retired Trooper wasn't having any of that..

Please enlighten me. What is unique to LEO's getting declined? Are they declined more often than the average Joe Public?

According to the story he refused to be handcuffed. I'd like to know how that finally got resolved.

I think they offered him a Klondike bar.

Well, not sure.. I have friends that work in local gun stores and they tell me that local LEO's get declined pretty often.. They eventually get approved.. That is to say they are eventually allowed to proceed..

It could be that they get declined for review more than the average joe, but I don't have stats. I've never been denied..

Would be interesting to know why he was refused the sale.

If it was just before 8 PM, maybe he found out how slow Academy was at handling the gun transactions and didn't want to come back the next day to complete the transaction.

Of course, I am just joking, but I can't think of ANY time I ever purchased a gun from Academy where it didn't take at least an hour to complete the transaction from start to finish. When I hit my busy time of the year, I won't even consider Academy for a firearm purchase just based on the sheer amount of time it takes to buy a gun there.

Delayed is much different than denied.

I'll have to ask LSP972 if he knew him...

Where has LSP been? Haven't noticed him in a bit.

It is.. Denied to proceed is what I'm referring..

I remember helping a coworker do a transfer to a sheriff's deputy. Dude is built like a linebacker - on the Parish's SWAT/SRT (whatever they call it) for sure. He was there with a bunch of coworkers of same build. He got delayed. Many laughs were had. He got the go-ahead later, but it does crack me up when cops get denied/delayed... it's like "He can carry a gun with less restrictions than the rest of us, but we can't sell him another one" lol...

You know what's worse? I seem to have cashiers that forget to take the sensors out of the electronics I purchase in uniform so it sets the shoplifter alarm off. Everybody laughs and I have to show the lil old lady my receipt so she knows I'm not shoplifting

LSP and Pangris no longer are part of the board. Not sure what the drama was

"Don't tase me bro".................

I know if they tased him it would have made the story, just laugh when someone gets tased................

Well....I guess if you are... or were a cop...and you have that attitude of--- " I am the Law," ....Well then that would **** you off if you get delayed. Karma is a bitch.

And then **** off another LEO who has the same "I am the law" attitude". That is a recipe for disaster

Apparently he is a swell, lovable guy. He is also a trustworthy, stable provider looking for the right mate to share and enjoy life. Being reliable and supportive in all situations are my main virtues.

At least that is what his "Alone Angel" profile reads...

You got me curious now. I wanna know what happened. I liked both of those guys, they added a lot to the board.
