Why not a card/tie-in to buy gun in Texas?

[MJR]

Why the problems with NICS to buy a gun in Texas as we are having now. After this we should have a tie-in to our CHL or separate card that could be shown and avoid the NICS problems. Yes this kind of thing (emergency) will happen again. You have this “card”and buy & go. No waiting 3.5 weeks to buy a gun. Your pre-approved.
Your on a State list that says your checked out. Many of us have lots of forms in the system from previous gun buys.

Uh... unless I'm misunderstanding the question, that's how our LTCs work already

The Texas LTC already provides for this, but some retailers store policies require the NICS check in spite of not needing it. Blame the retailer

That is one of the reasons I recommend all people who don't need an LTC to carry to get one anyway. I heard about this one FBI agent who would always have to wait for the Brady date to pick up his purchase due to his background check. It wouldn't be a problem if he had an LTC.

This is the reason I choose to not deal with some retailers.

A couple of Decembers ago Cabelas had a sale on a Kimber I wanted. To get the sale price, I had to order online for store pickup. When I went in to pick it up, the system was down--I am not sure if their system or NCIS but they were telling customers that it would be a couple of hours to run background checks. The manager on duty saw my LTC and told me if I wanted to complete a paper 4473 form, I could be out the door in a few minutes. Of course I took him up on it and was in and out relatively quickly.

I would not buy a gun from any store that doesn't respect your LTC

My experience with Cabela's as well.
