OK, I've never heard of it happening like this.
My buddy who we'll call Seal, is clean as far as we know, in fact he's passed background checks for work and doesn't even have a traffic violation on his record. He's 24 and has no criminal record. HOWEVER, he goes to buy a handgun recently and gets denied (WTD-what the deuce? ). Of course they don't tell him why he was denied, but he is convinced that it is because his roommate who IS a prohibited person from some chicken ess "domestic" misdemeanor (who we'll call Prohibited dude). But it wasn't the roommate making the purchase or wanting the purchase, or anywhere near the purchase. My buddy already owns guns and he is convinced that his roommate's driver's license and corresponding address must have come up on the background check and thus turned him into an instant prohibited person. BUT, how the hell can you be denied just because a prohibited person's address matches as yours, when YOU are the one making the purchase? How the hell does the state know that Prohibited dude is ACTUALLY living with you and not moved out, and by the way, it's legal to have firearms in the same dwelling as a prohibited person as long as they have no access whatsoever (as in TOTALLY PHYSICALLY LOCKED OUT from said firearms).
This just doesn't add up. If they're denying people now merely by running your address and if it happens to "hit" with the LISTED address (just listed and not being proof that Prohibited dude actually still lives there, LET ALONE has access to any guns), of a prohibited person, then that is ten times more frightening of a police state. That is making one hell of an assumption based on an address match.
