ATF Publishes Open Letter to Federal Firearms Licensees About Transfers of Firearms

On May 23, ATF published an open letter to federal firearms licensees (FFLs) with updated guidance on obligations under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act when transferring a firearm to a person who is not an FFL.

The letter also addresses whether FFLs may accept certain state permits instead of a National Instant Criminal Background Check before transferring a firearm to a non-licensee. ATF has created a new chart with its current assessment of all such permits for each state and territory.

Read the full open letter.
