Hi, I recently attempted to purchase a shotgun from a local dealer in Waterford, Michigan. I filled out all the paperwork honestly & was denied. The only reason I can think of was because of my past. When i was 15 I got charged with CCW & MIP of a Firearm. However both of these charges were dropped down to misdemeanor charges. I know my chances of owning a gun are very slim now but any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
