ASA attended the FAIR Trade Group’s Firearms & Ammunition Compliance Conference on June 10-11, outside Washington, D.C. We had the opportunity to meet in person with ATF Leadership, including the new NFA Division Chief and his team. At the conference we took a deep dive into the NFA approval process, with a focus on the FBI-NICS background check process. ATF broke down, in great detail, why some background checks take longer than others, how that affects overall transfer times, and what you can do about it if you’re one of the unlucky few that is delayed.
