CCW permit substitute for Handgun purchase card confusion

(1/4) > >>

Lorimor:
It's my understanding that I no longer have to have a Nebraska handgun purchase card since I have my CHP.  Unfortunately, convincing some FFL's that this is the case is difficult. 

Have the state/Feds/ATF notified them officially or is that part of the program? 

I have a nice S&W 66-1 sitting at the FFL right now 'cause I can't pick it up for lack of the infamous Nebraska purchase card.  FFL insists I have it.  I'm not going to argue with him as I don't want to cause any hard feelings. 

Dan W:
At this time, the BATFE has not approved use of the NE CHP as a sustitute for a Federal NICS check, but it does satisfy the Nebraska requirement for a purchase permit.


So in a nutshell your FFL just needs to record your CHP number and complete a NICS check, but that does not mean he will agree to do it.

We have several FFL's on this site who understand the law and can process this type of transfer.

I don't know for sure what your options are right now, but I would talk to Chris Z or Rod Moeller about it

Lorimor:
Apparently it's up to the individual FFL to get educated.  I doubt I can provide this guy with anything that will convince him otherwise.  I told him yesterday that I had been buying handguns with my CHP but he wouldn't believe me I guess.  ::)

Chris Z:
Dan has it right on.

State of Nebraska no longer requires the purchase permit for a CHP holder.

However the ATF will not recognize the CHP for a Brady check, SO the FFL must still run a NICS check if the buyer does not have the purchase permit.

It all comes down to ignorance and choices. Some gun stores are ignorant and don't keep up on the laws, some are just stubborn and don't want to do it for customers, because God forbid the NICS check takes a few minute and then they run the risk of getting a "Delayed" response. I had a Manager at one of the large box stores tell me they won't sell without the permit because they don't want to do the NICS check and possibly get a delayed response.


ATF seems to have forgotten about approving this process and notifying FFL's

Mudinyeri:
So, why do business with an FFL who doesn't get it when we have supporting FFL's on this site who do?
