Yeah, another law that I have mixed opinons about. I can go to a gunshow and purchase 1 gun from 10 vendors and nothing gets turned in. But if I get 2 guns from the same vendor then he/she has to submit the multiple sales form. I used to not care about that form but I do now and so I try to time my purchases from the same dealer so that they are 6 business days apart or I purchase from multiple vendors. It's just the principle of the thing. When there's such an easy way to bypass the rule, why have it? Of course then you get into the debate that criminals don't follow any of the rules anyway........

Of course when my dealer's get audited, the ATF agent looks at their log and sees my name all over the place. And then they can/do audit the Forms 4473 and that has all my data. That's when I wonder why I don't want the multiple sales form to go in on me. What the heck, I have nothing to hide. But the form also goes to some local contact (other than ATF) that retains it for 6 months. Good grief.

I purchased two guns from Cabelas and they didn't do a NIC check. But that was a year or so ago. Can't speak for Bass Pro or Academy as they've never had any guns that I could purchase that were less than other dealers. Still, if Bass Pro or Academy requires a NIC check on someone with a TXCHL then I won't bother even checking with them on gun prices. But that's just me.

I haven't run across that yet but as current holder of a TXCHL, I wouldn't deal with anyone who has a company policy of calling in my info. One of my perks for having a CHL. Dealers can of course conduct their business any way they want but I also have the choice of who I do business with.
