Summary: A Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit holder supports the proposed rule to clarify exceptions to the Brady Act background check requirement. The commenter argues that permit holders who have already undergone rigorous background checks should not be subjected to redundant NICS checks during renewal.
I am a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit holder writing in strong support of this proposed rule. Obtaining my CHP required a full FBI fingerprint check, firarms training, and a thorough review of my disqualifying history — a more rigorous process than a standard NICS check. I have held my CHP for 10 years - regularly renewing without issue. Being forced through a redundant NICS check every time treats me as a suspect despite my verified status. Congress authorized permit substitution for exactly this reason. I urge ATF to finalize this rule. RIN 1140-AA85. Thank you.
