"You can get declined for all kinds of reasons," Steele said. "If you were charged with something in 1952 and there's no disposition on that, then you have to get that expunged off your record. Most of the time, it's something stupid."

He's got that right.

A number of years ago my husband, for reasons not necessary to go into, pawned his shotgun which he had purchased, in Delaware, about 6 months earlier with no problem.

When he went to pull it out of hock a back-ground check was done and he was denied.

In the background check a charge of felony tresspassing was found on his record from 20 years earlier. What the record failed to show was that the charge had been dropped.

It finally took me contacting the state Attorney General herself personally to get his record expunged because he was getting no cooperation whatsoever from the DOJ.

My husband contacted some of his friends that had been involved in the same incident that had caused the arrest when they were all about 18 or 19 and 3 of them checked their records and found the exact same problem.
