NOTICE: ATF Issues Public Safety Advisory To Alabama FFLs
Our friends at Orchid Advisors just made us aware of a procedural change in firearms transfers in the state of Alabama. Alabama FFLs can no longer accept the state’s Concealed Carry Permit (CCP) as an exemption for a federal NICS check. Apparently, Alabama has not been collecting enough personal identifying information from non-resident applicants to conduct a federal Immigration Alien Query (IAQ) as required by law. In addition, CCPs may have been issued to individuals who have not passed a NICS check.
