c&r newbie question

[Andyshowfan]

This may be a silly question, but here goes I know that my c&r can be used in lieu of the background check for c&r guns at a gun shop, dealer etc. But can it also be used in the same fashion for guns other than c&r?

No. If you buy 'modern' (i.e. non-C&R) firearms you still need the background check.

I figured as much . Seems a little redundant though. Thanks for the info

I've noticed that some dealers will still make you go through a background check even if you have your C&R.

What bothers me is the fact that you still must undergo the background check with a HCP as well. Seems like the state would recognize that if you've passed the background check to get the license or permit that that should be enough - some states do allow you to forgo it with a HCP.

It can't be a money maker for them even at $10 a pop but seems like it could surely be a way for them to cut expenses.

But you could have committed countless felonies in the 4 years since you last renewed your HCP. A 10 dollar background check doesn't bother me as much as some other things.
