If we issue a "temporary" license, we'll have problems with some of our reciprocity agreements and possibly our NICS exemption. However, one thing I want to pursue is requiring DPS to run a NICS check immediately upon receipt of a new or renewal application and then issue the CHL while the non-criminal portion of the background check is underway; i.e. school loans, child-support, taxes, etc.

Sometimes just the use of the term "Temporary" will cause a problem. That was the thing that kept us from getting reciprocity with Colorado. When we were able to confirm a NICS-type background check was done first, we were able to get the reciprocity agreement.

Regards,
Chas.
