tejek, re: but the Brady site does not agree. You would think they would know bradycampaign.org 24 STATES USE THE FEDERAL NICS SYSTEM FOR ALL BACKGROUND CHECKS CONDUCTED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE: These states rely solely on the NICS system when conducting a background check on a prospective gun buyer: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. However, states which require permits to purchase continue to use their state-based system for the permit background check (see section on Permits). The permit background check is separate from the background check that is conducted at the time of purchase. 15 STATES PERFORM ALL BACKGROUND CHECKS AT THE STATE LEVEL: These states do all checks through a state-based system which includes checking the NICS database in addition to other records that may not be available on the NICS system: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. 11 STATES PERFORM HANDGUN BACKGROUND CHECKS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND LONG GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS THROUGH THE FEDERAL NICS SYSTEM: These states are Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. Again, states which require permits to purchase continue to use their state-based system for the permit background check (see section on Permits). Seems the Brady Campaign web site needs to get it's pages updated.
