When you renew your CHL, do they run a NICS check?

They do a much more thorough back ground check that includes finger prints which alleviates the need for the standard NICS check.

They don't do fingerprints on renewals unless something has changed.
I'm not sure they do a full background check on a renewal. Anyone know for sure?

If they do a NICS check that would hit the Federal database and trigger a refusal based on SS data.
The question is, does the Texas background check also hit that database?

They may not take finger prints on renewal but I bet they still run them through the system for the renewal.

If you have a CHL you are exempt from NICS check.

Are you sure? I thought they still call it in, but you don't have to wait for it.

Not to my understanding. A FFL can call it in if they desire but if they chose to do that you could not take possession of the firearm until it was approved. I would not do business with a FFL who insisted on calling it in.
I know that I would have received numerous phone calls from someone if they had to call them in later. One of the reasons I got my CHL is because I would get hung up in the NICS system - there is a felon in NJ with my same first, middle initial, last name, and birthday. It should never happen but I have actually been denied in the past due to this issue. So I'm sure they aren't calling mine in.

If you have a CHL you are exempt from NICS check. It also sounds like it would only be an issue if you were not capable of managing your own finances.

I was wondering the same thing. Now if this were being used as a means to confiscate weapons that is a different conversation.

"The one sure way of getting rid of an executive order is in the White House. If an administration doesn't like an order from a previous president, it can legally reverse it on its own."
