Easier Firearm Permits and Appeal Process
New rules aim to simplify the firearm permit process for citizens by introducing an appeal option for denials and faster application processing. If delays occur, applications will be automatically approved, and individuals acting lawfully will not face criminal liability.
Key points
Ability to appeal firearm permit denials and reimbursement of legal fees for successful appeals.
Firearm applications will be automatically approved if a decision is not made within 3 business days.
Individuals who received a firearm after automatic approval will not face criminal liability if the application was later found to be invalid, provided the firearm is returned.
Requires reports and agreements between agencies to improve the NICS background check system.
