House Bill 1630

[AKguy1985]

My thread posted twice for some reason.

Has anybody heard about this? The governor has already signed it into law. I just haven't seen when it goes into effect.

The first is House Bill 1630, which allows for someone who has went through the more vigorous background checks and training to obtain an SDA (concealed carry) handgun license to use a state license as the check when purchasing a firearm. This bill, which has been long established in other states, uses the license as the actual check, which in essence means the background check has already been performed and the individual has been held to a higher standard than those going through the traditional National Instant Check System (NICS).

This is a great....I hate waiting for the background check....it always seems to take hours even though its usually just 15 minutes or so.

This has been discussed. From what I understand, it's only good as a background check for 5 years. So if you get the 10 year carry permit, it only replaces a BG check for the first 5 years.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong...

Also... the bill did away with the 90 day grace period for renewal. So now you must renew before your permit expires.

I think someone posted a week or two ago that OSBI has to apply to BATF to see if they will accept this in lieu of NICS. So it's not a done deal, it just means state of Oklahoma will submit an application for approval by the feds. Take that with a grain of salt...

Correct. They do not recognize the 10 year, and the BATF has to sign off on it.

I bet the BATF will sign off on it to lower their work load.......

My last background check took about five minutes.

You still have to fill out the paperwork even without the NICS check.

Yes, the 4473 still has to be filled out to be kept by the FFL by law.
I’m delayed on every transaction as I’ve covered in past posts.
This would be helpful to me not having to take the walk of shame from the FFL.
