AboutBob H. Expertise I have been involved with firearms since 1976. I am currently an NRA Life Member and Certified Instructor for Pistol, Reloading, and Range Safety Officer. I am licensed to carry a concealed firearm in over 30 states. I can answer most questions on a wide variety of firearms topics including:
advanced handgun topics including action types, selecting the right gun and ammunition for your needs, best places to purchase, how to find good quality training, where and how to practice, marksmanship programs, self defense, home defense, and concealed carry issues
basic topics for rifles, shotguns, and reloading
selecting and using accessories such as holsters, targets, range devices, cleaning products, storage cases, gun safes, replacement parts, upgrades, etc.
I will not answer questions about gun history, current or future gun values, or detailed legal questions. For these questions please see the Blue Book of Gun Values by S. P. Fjestad, contact the manufacturer of the firearm, or contact a qualified local attorney.
Experience Experience:
I have been involved with firearms since 1976 including many forms of target practice, hunting, self defense, home defense, concealed carry, reloading, and dozens of training classes. I am currently an NRA Life Member and Certified Instructor for Pistol, Reloading, and Range Safety Officer. I am licensed to carry a concealed firearm in over 30 states. I am not a macho paramilitary guy that is going to bark orders at you like a drill sergeant or tell you that there is only one correct answer. Instead I am a down-to-earth working class guy that will patiently educate you on the facts and issues so that you can make your own decisions based on your situation.
My full time job keeps me quite busy however I also provide firearms training to friends and referrals in my spare time. Many people have helped me over the years so I volunteer my time whenever possible to give something back to the community. If you use this site and find it helpful then I encourage you to consider signing up as an expert as well.
Question hello, i recently found out my drivers liscense eas suspended back in august of 08, i just took care of this matter 2 weeks ago, but i was told the dmv and police records could show it suspended up to 6mo, will this affect a nics check? thanks
Answer Hello Nick.
The NICS check is primarily concerned with felony crimes and warrants. Suspension of a drivers license should not interfere with this check as long as there were no other problems such as criminal charges or warrants for your arrest. Even if the NICS is denied you will have the option to appeal it but I wouldn't worry about it unless you have some criminal history. It only costs you $10 to find out.
Good luck and stay out of trouble moving forward! :-)
