I don't know if you're legally entitled to buy a firearm considering your prior conviction, but if you really did get a full pardon from the governor then I'd suggest hiring a lawyer to get the state to straighten out it's paperwork on you. In the meantime, no retail merchant has a right to keep a customer's money if he doesn't give him the merchandise (regardless of the reason why he can't sell it to him). Threaten to take the gun dealer to small claims court if he refuses to return your money to you.

There is more going on that you are not sharing. First the gun store cannot keep you money, only a deposit if the gun was held for you past the required 'waiting period' second the letter of denial must include a case number and phone number of the BATF office that has jurisdiction over the particular gun dealer. You are entitled to a review and explanation of the denial.
I would start with a claim to the store for your money, if that is refused go to small claims court. Also if you are a NRA member they have free legal advice.

It's simple, you were convicted of a felony and as a convicted felon you are not entitled to purchase a gun, even if the Governor of Ohio says so. (Although you were 16 at the time, were you tried as an adult? Juvenile records are normally sealed, and conviction information is not given for sealed records)
Because it's a Federal Law you would have to receive your pardon from the President of the United States, in order to qualify for gun ownership.
The Gun Store owes you the amount for the gun, file the papers and sue them.
Hope this helps.

those 2 history tests are completed via 2 diverse companies. The verify for the carry enable became completed regionally, and maximum in all likelihood be the sheriff. The NICS is finished via a federal company. they many times make a lot of errors- they do thousands and thousands daily. try it back. If it fails back, and you be conscious of your checklist is sparkling- then practice for a PIN. maximum in all likelihood there is somebody else with a attractiveness same as yours is inflicting interference. Edit: I surely have an extremely uncommon first and final call- yet an cyber web seek will teach almost 40 interior the u . s . with my same call. I surely have been not on time in 5 of the final 6 gun purchases I surely have tried by way of NICS. those men have been overwhelmed for the final 4 years....and that they are very sloppy with their judgements. try back,

Unfortunately it only takes one felony, I'd look into why you were denied. Funny how the guys who try and follow the law it's tough and not an easy road but if you wanted to go buy one on the street you'd be firing off rounds in the house as we speak. Stay American and stay strong.

The store can legally refuse to sell you a gun, but if you walk in, put down $700, and they don't sell you the gun OR give back the money, then they are stealing your money, and that's a felony.
Get your money back.
