Just saw this letter from Friday. Has anyone heard anything about this? Didn't even know it was in the talks.  |

that would indeed be good news if it is coming back for us This https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/laws-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives/gun-control-act/brady-law/brady-permit-chart appears to indicate it is so as of now.... |

Hell yeah. Note what they say in the letter, ATF has recently conducted a review of the laws and regulations of all U.S. states and territories. The purpose was to determine whether relevant firearms-related permits meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(3) and whether FFLs may accept such permits in lieu of a NICS background check prior to transferring a firearm to a nonlicensee I added the bold. IIRC, this was something that the states had to ask for before. To see them proactively going out and doing this on their own is very interesting and nice to see. ETA- Gives a good reason to keep an Alabama carry permit for sure. |

Amen to that, and standardize pricing between counties, and put the funds into the Game & Fish department. |

Might be a reason to actually get a permit now. I didn't renew mine last year after constitutional carry became a thing.

I'd love to to see that, but I feel like most of the state SOs would put up a fight for that money pot |

From their letter: The guidance set forth in this letter and the new chart on atf.gov supersedes all previous ATF open letters on NICS alternate permits, including open letters as to whether a particular jurisdiction’s firearms permit(s) qualify as an alternative to the NICS check. It is in force as of the posting of the letter. |
