Free Background Check To Buy A Gun
Once the appeal form is received, TBI personnel will begin a review process, attempting to obtain the information needed to determine if the denial should be overturned or upheld. The background check is valid for 30 days, so the earlier an appeal form is received after the denial, the more time is available for processing of your appeal. If an appeal is not received within 30 days, it will not be processed. If the denial is based on missing information in your criminal history record, such as missing dispositions for arrests, TBI will contact arresting agencies and clerks of court on your behalf to seek the information needed. If the reason for denial is missing information and that information is not provided by arresting agencies or clerks of court, the denial will become a "conditional proceed". See below for more information.
If during the background check, TBI locates a record with outstanding disqualifying charges or charges that are undeterminable as disqualifying, we will deny the transaction. Upon an appeal of the denial, our staff will attempt to find disposition information on the charges in order to make a determination of eligibility to purchase a firearm. If we cannot obtain the information within the mandatory 15-day limit, the transaction will be marked as a Conditional Proceed. This means that the firearm dealer may lawfully, at his/her discretion, complete the transfer, although it in no way means that the dealer must complete the transfer.
Tennessee's Handgun Carry Permit does not meet the requirements of the federal Brady Bill because it lacks a requirement for an annual re-check of the permit holder's criminal history and it does not require a check through the National Instant Check System (NICS). Therefore, purchasers holding a valid Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit still have to have an extensive check performed when purchasing a firearm. The carry permit can be used as a primary source of identification for purchasing a firearm as long as it contains the purchaser's photograph, date of birth, and current address.
The definition of just who qualifies as a fugitive for the purposes of background checks narrowed sharply this year. Up until last year, the FBI considered anyone subject to an arrest warrant a fugitive for the purposes of gun sales. But now the category only applies to people who examiners can prove have left the state where they are wanted for arrest, and even then, only if the wanted person did so to escape authorities.
The gun background check system has more difficulty making denials based on misdemeanor domestic violence convictions than any other category on this list. A Government Accountability Office report released last December found that in nearly 17,900 cases involving domestic abusers between 2006 and 2015, it took the FBI more than three business days to ultimately make a determination and reject the buyer.
In fact, prosecutions of denied gun purchasers are rare because the cases make poor fits for the workloads of U.S. Attorneys. In states that have their own laws or policies for cracking down on fraudulent gun background check applications, arrests and prosecutions are comparatively common.
The gun dealer/FFL checks a valid government issued ID from the purchaser, fills out information about the firearm(s), and then conducts a background check (if applicable). Depending on the state, the background check is either run through the federal National Instant Criminal Check System (NICS) or it is run through a state agency (these are called Point of Contact, or POC, States). More on this below.
Also, in some states, a customer who has a valid concealed carry permit (CCW) may be exempt from needing a background check for each purchase. A table of qualifying NICS-exempt permits is included below.
In order to purchase an NFA firearm, the customer must fill out an application and send it directly to the ATF along with a special tax (usually $2
