I worked part time at a big box store for many years.    We/they only accepted the home states concealed permits to bypass the NICS check.     Arkansas in my case.   Some people now have out of state non resident permits.   What is the rule on using an out of state non resident permit to bypass NICS?

Looking at the Brady chart is not clear.   Just says it needs to be valid.  How do you FFLs view this?

The CHL must be in-state.

Where is that specified?

This was being discussed in a Facebook group and one guy mentioned he has used his AZ non resident permit at 2 different FFLs and was not a problem.   According to the poster they simply used the AZ permit to avoid NICS.    This is in Arkansas.

Every state handles it differently.

According to ATF/Brady Florida has no qualifying permits to honor.

That does seem to answer my question about however.  It does appear to show it must only come from an instate permit.

The law.

(A) before the completion of the transfer, the licensee contacts the national instant criminal background check system established under section 103 of that Act;

Sorry I just don't see it under the explanation for question 21.   If you reference the Brady Permit Chart it shows AZ is valid.    We have several people posting here in AR they used non resident AZ permits to bypass the NICS check at some FFLs.    In those instructions AZ seems okay according to the Brady Chart.

However the rule copied above seems to make it clear that is had have to be issued in the state where the transfer takes place.

Question 21. No NICS check was required because the transferee/buyer has a valid permit from the State where the transfer is to take place, which qualifies as an exception to NICS.

How on earth could you not understand that sentence?
1. What state is the transfer taking place?...........Arkansas.
2. Does the buyer have a valid permit from that State?.........means an Arkansas permit.


The Brady Chart shows what state issue firearm permits that can serve as an exemption IN THOSE STATES. WTF would you look at the Brady chart to see any other state but Arkansas?

Sounds like some Arkansas dealers are going to get crosswise with ATF at their next compliance inspection.

Oh duh!   I see that now.   I was reading the explanation of question 21 further back in the 4473.    That does seem to be pretty clear as well.    RTFQ!!!

And yes I couldn't believe some were responding they weren't getting NICS checks using an out of state permit.    But this is on the FFL not the buyer

Read the 4473...clearly stated there!

This is another case in which having an Out of state permit is stupid.  If you actually read Arkansas law, you have 30 days to apply for an Arkansas concealed carry permit if you hold an outside of state permit.  Which should render an out of state invalid if you have an Arkansas residence.   I really think it's ignorant to get an out of state permit in the first place.  Places pushing those rather than legal permit.  Arkansas costs $200, chap out of state are cheap.
