Summary: A North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder supports the proposed rule to recognize qualifying state permits as valid for background checks. The commenter argues that because their permit involved a more rigorous vetting process than the standard NICS check, requiring a redundant NICS check for every purchase is unnecessary and treats them like a suspect.
I am a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder writing in strong support of this proposed rule. My CHP required a thorough FBI fingerprint check and disqualifier review — a more rigorous process than a standard NICS check. Being required to submit to a redundant NICS check at every firearm purchase treats me as a suspect despite having already been thoroughly vetted. I urge ATF to finalize this rule and recognize qualifying state permits as valid. I’ve been a permitted CCW for over a dozen years.
