Can I sue a company and an individual who gave me wrong information while I tried to buy a gun

I was at a local Walmart trying to buy a rifle. The guy in the store had no clue what he was doing. While going through several questions on the computer he kept saying I don't know. I had asked what a specific code meant and he asked me if I have ever been convicted of a felony. I said no. He then replied answer no. So I did. Well apparently the question was suppose to mean have I ever been arrested of a certain crime. The guy at the store also tried calling the PSP a few times for the background check. He just kept saying normally the younger kid does this. I told him to forget it and that I would go elsewhere. Almost 6 months later I received a letter from the magistrate with limited felony charges for providing false information while trying to buy a firearm.
