some places do the Nics check with computer, so you mite not see a phone call but i think they are doing it. I notice places around here that sell bigger volumes of guns and you do the 4473 on computer, I dont see them make a phone call but the NICs check was done .In Kansas if you have a concealed carry licenses, show your ID fill out the 4473. Out the door you go no phone calls. Like the old days.

Is this because of marijuana legalization?
US DOJ just sent out a letter to all ammunition vendors (and perhaps FFL's) in CA clarifying that, despite recreational dope use being legal in the state, a "yes" answer to the question "have you been prescribed, or do you use marijuana" should be an automatic prohibition when it comes to firearms or ammunition.
This is true, my son has his FFL and just received approval to do NICS checks over the internet . I am not sure how long this has been available,but I remember buying a gun in VT a few years ago and the seller did the web NICS check on me .some places do the Nics check with computer, so you mite not see a phone call but i think they are doing it.

Is that a federal rule or a state rule? I think state but im not sure so ill check around here. Mine was issued after 2010. thanksConcealed handgun licenses issued on or after July 1, 2010 qualify as alternatives to the background check.

Can you point me to where I can see that rule in writing ? Thank YouConcealed handgun licenses issued on or after July 1, 2010 qualify as alternatives to the background check.

Different states have different rules,,check your own state.Can you point me to where I can see that rule in writing ? Thank You
that is true but I always thought the NICs check is a federal law. I didnt think the states could elect not to do it when a firearm is purchased no matter if someone has a concealed permit or not. Mabie the federal law says some states can though. something i gotta find out.Different states have different rules,,check your own state.
If the states' background check is as good or better than the Feds' (NICS), the Fed may defer to that state check for sales. CC permit may or may not be relevant, again it takes the Feds' approval for CC permit to be used in lieu of the NICS check.that is true but I always thought the NICs check is a federal law.

OK, Its good to hear from an FFL about how this works. I didnt know that. I will check how it works for my home and adjacent states.

Florida runs their own system,FDLE, Texas if you have a CC Permit you still fill out the 4473 but there's no check.OK, Its good to hear from an FFL about how this works. I didnt know that. I will check how it works for my home and adjacent states. Thanks
That’s coming! One thing to note: While I was sitting on a park bench in Aspen Colorado, I noticed a store that had that “leafy” sign in the window. A kid came out and happened to sit down close enough to me that I could ask a question or two. I asked him if they asked for ID. He said they did. I asked if they just looked at it or recorded it. He said they “scanned it” into their computer. I was going to ask the kid if he hunted, but he left before I could.Never any questions about alcohol use or prescription drugs. Go figure
This is why( For the most part ) back ground checks are B.S. It is one more way for the anti second ammendment bunch to restrict gun ownership.I know a guy with multiple felonies that got his chp here in NC.
They don't go back more than 7 yrs he said.
I don't like it that he can own one when I had to jump through hoops because of a ex wife complaint 10 yrs ago

Wow so there is no 4473 in FL?Florida runs their own system,FDLE, Texas if you have a CC Permit you still fill out the 4473 but there's no check.
I would have to believe for the states to take it on themselves to do firearms sales determinations and back ground checks they have to have a good reason. And I dont think its to keep the Feds out of our business.Florida runs their own system,FDLE, Texas if you have a CC Permit you still fill out the 4473 but there's no check.
No,you still have to fill out the 4473,but the check goes through the FDLE,Florida Dept.of Law Enforsement.Wow so there is no 4473 in FL?
