This is because a number of states such as Connecticut and Utah use the NICS database to perform background checks on applicants for concealed carry permits<br /><br />The NSSF page does note that their chart shows "adjusted NICS," with these checks backed out of the data. Not sure how accurate it is, but worth pointing out.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-73342476501857796412013-09-04T16:26:12.835-04:002013-09-04T16:26:12.835-04:00Alternately, how many more purchases are being don...Alternately, how many more purchases are being done legally person to person instead of from dealers?<br /><br />I would feel confident that there are a lot of gun owners, old and new, who really weren't actively aware of PTP sales being legal in their state and never thought of doing it if they were. <br /><br />Given that many folks did the "hoarding" type buys and thus have product to sell to improve their collections, where many stores don't, and the growing sense that "they" are "after our guns" and are compiling lists, maybe a lot more sales are deliberately taking place off the NICs books.<br /><br />If I can get the same gun without waiting for it to come into stock, for about the same cost, without having a record for the gummint to store, why -wouldn't- I buy that way?Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-88551252896817284282013-09-04T12:25:22.987-04:002013-09-04T12:25:22.987-04:00I think it's partially due to ammo, and partia...I think it's partially due to ammo, and partially due to people sitting on what they have now.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-32993841462490588892013-09-04T10:09:10.708-04:002013-09-04T10:09:10.708-04:00@Hectate: It is the same here in NC.

I have heard anecdotally that many people obtain the CHP to simplify their firearms purchases. They don't need to obtain a Pistol Purchase Permit from their local sheriff nor do they go through the NICS check.John Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151468462458613615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-54132293970684267062013-09-04T09:33:12.397-04:002013-09-04T09:33:12.397-04:00And other states such as Nebraska accept either a ...And other states such as Nebraska accept either a Purchase Permit or your CHP in place of NICS.
