Section 925A. Remedy for erroneous denial of firearm
Any person denied a firearm pursuant to subsection (s) or (t) of
section 922 -
(1) due to the provision of erroneous information relating to
the person by any State or political subdivision thereof, or by
the national instant criminal background check system established
under section 103 of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act;
or
(2) who was not prohibited from receipt of a firearm pursuant
to subsection (g) or (n) of section 922,
may bring an action against the State or political subdivision
responsible for providing the erroneous information, or responsible
for denying the transfer, or against the United States, as the case
may be, for an order directing that the erroneous information be
corrected or that the transfer be approved, as the case may be. In
any action under this section, the court, in its discretion, may
allow the prevailing party a reasonable attorney's fee as part of
the costs.
