Actually NCIC is the National Crime Information Center, and it is not used by FFLs. It is restricted to Criminal Justice purposes and utilized by LE, courts, etc.quidni wrote:Went to the local gunshow this past weekend, & heard dealers complaining that the NCIC system was down "several hours" on Sunday afternoon (April 2). Since this effectively limited them to selling only to CHL holders, there were thousands of dollars worth of sales lost.
Did any other shows have this problem?
The FFLs use the NICS system. National Instant Crimnal Background Check System.
No gun sales would be effected by a system failure, only TRANSFERS would not be allowed to occur.
NICS was down nationwide.
