Summary: A North Carolina concealed handgun permit holder supports the proposed rule clarification to the Brady Act. The commenter argues that state-level permit processes are more rigorous than standard NICS checks and should be recognized as valid substitutions.
I am a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder writing in support of this proposed clarification to the Brady Act Background Check Requirement. When I applied for my Concealed Carry Permit, the process required a full FBI fingerprint check and a thorough review of my disqualifying history, including court and medical records related to mental health — a vastly MORE rigorous process than a standard NICS check. Congress authorized permit substitution for exactly this reason. I urge ATF to finalize this rule clarification. RIN 1140-AA85.
