Abstract: Under 18 USC 922(t)(3), ATF requests permission to send a letter to the 21 States with permits that currently qualify as (NICS) alternatives, asking the States to send a written response to ATF explaining how their State licensing authorities comply with the minimum requirements for qualifying permits under the Brady law and and its implementing regulation. These questions are necessary to ensure ATF only allows permits that meet the statutory and regulatory requirements qualify as alternatives to NICS checks.
