Quoted: It appears at least in Jefferson and Monroe counties that they have in effect implemented a five year license renewal system if you want to add a handgun to your license.
If you have a valid NICS certification the dealer should NOT be running a NICS check on any transfer. That's the whole point of be NICS certified.

No, the licenses are lifetime, the check is done to insure compliance with the law. IF you've violated any of the laws that would cause you to lose your rights, and fell thru the cracks your licenses would be pulled anyway.
AFAIK dealers LOVE the NICS cards as it saves time and hassle when selling a firearm.
Aubertine's beef was the dealer wouldn't honor his NICS card because it was expired.
Understandably (altho a bit anal) they apparently wouldn't start the sale process until his lacenses was made current.
If your licensesing agency isn't issueing cards that expire, then count yourself luckey, but be ware it will catch up eventually.
I'm from Florida and down there one could buy a handgun anywhere from anyone with little more than a drivers licenses. Of dozens of handgun and long gun transactions every year, having to submit to a simple computer check is no big deal.
Do I like it? NO
I plan on visiting Gander Mountain this week, and I'll talk to Carl Egberg the store manager to see what he says. New store+ new employees= problems
rkbar15 Your preaching to the choir, and I have no beef with you. I've just come to accept things for the way they are, changing things that I can, when I can.
Is it constitutional? proabably not.
Will it stop me from playing the game? NO freakin way.
