Summary: A North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder and FFL/SOT holder supports the proposed rule to clarify exceptions to the Brady Act background check requirement. The commenter argues that redundant NICS checks for verified permit holders are unnecessary and that the rule aligns with Congressional intent for permit substitution.
I am a North Carolina Concealed Handgun Permit holder writing in strong support of this proposed rule. Obtaining my CHP required a full FBI fingerprint check and a thorough review of my disqualifying history — a more rigorous process than a standard NICS check. I have held my CHP for more than 10 years and purchase firearms regularly. Being forced through a redundant NICS check every time treats me as a suspect despite my verified status. In fact, I hold an active FFL and SOT which has ever more rigorous vetting standards and makes this not finalizing this rule even more egregious. Congress authorized permit substitution for exactly this reason. I urge ATF to finalize this rule. RIN 1140-AA85.
