NICS
I don't know whether this is right place to ask this question. A friend of mine got into some trouble back in middle 80's and was sentenced and convicted of theft. He was put on probation for 3 years and pardoned in 1990. He said he had all the paperwork that said all this. He went to purchase a hunting rifle and when going through the NICS check they delayed the purchase. I told him I'm not even sure he can buy a gun anymore. Seems to me if you have "DONE YOUR TIME" and the offenses were of the non-violent nature that he should be able to purchase a gun. Does anyone have any opions on this matter?
