Out of Texas CHL and purchase of firearm...

#1

Post by wiliamr »

If someone has a out of Texas CHL and is purchasing a firearm, is the FFl required to run a NICS check because it is not a Texas CHL? I was asked this and can not find a definitive answer. Thanks

Residence is in Texas and any type of firearm from an FFL. If I recall correctly their CHL is Arizona CHL.

No. Per ATF only your own state license qualifies for the NICS exemption for long arms or handguns.

This is the correct answer.

Florida license doesn't even get you out of the check in Florida, because in Florida the state does the checks, whether you have CWP or not.

I thought in Texas, only a Texas CHL would get you through purchase without the NICS check, but was not certain. Thanks

I think the same is also true in Kansas. I bought a rifle there a couple years ago and my Texas CHL was of no help. I still didn't wait more than 30 minutes for the NICS check. I don't think the KS CCP gets them out of it either.
