Kelly Keegan Successfully Removes Flag on Client’s Record Prohibiting Gun Purchases

Kelly’s client came to her mystified by why his firearm purchases were being denied on federal NICS background checks. Kelly reviewed his record and determined that he had no offenses that prohibit him from purchasing guns. Based on her extensive experience with gun rights issues, Kelly suspected his problem was the result of an incorrect Identification for Firearm Sales (IFFS) Flag maintained by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). Such flags are not visible to the public, but after extensive discussion with various employees at the BCA Kelly was able to bring the issue to their attention and have the IFFS Flag removed from her client’s records. As a result, Kelly’s client is now free, as he should be, to purchase firearms.
