Clarifying Exceptions to the Brady Act Background Check Requirement

An individual is opposing the proposed exceptions that would allow government officials to skip certain background checks if they are deemed to require "extraordinary effort, expense, or means." The commenter argues that firearm permit standards should remain high and consistent with other federal credentials, regardless of the infrastructure of the issuing state agency.

Michael R. Grigsby expresses strong support for the proposed rule clarifying state firearms permit qualifications as NICS alternatives. He argues that the rule provides legal clarity, enhances public safety by ensuring rigorous standards, and improves administrative efficiency for state and federal entities.
