Summary: A North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder supports the proposed rule to recognize qualifying state permits as valid Brady Act substitutes. The commenter argues that requiring a redundant NICS check for permit holders is unnecessary and treats vetted individuals like suspects.
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 Brady Act substitutes.
