Re: CHL Background check vs gun purchasing background check

The NICS background check is a name based system that only takes your name and birth date into consideration when searching for history that would disqualify a person from purchasing a firearm. If you have a common name such as mine (4th most popular in the US) then you may very likely be denied even if you have a spotless record. I am speaking from experience.
The background check for CHL is very extensive. It includes finger printing and review of any and all documented encounters with our friends in law enforcement. As others have stated, the requirements for obtaining a CHL far exceed those of simply being able to purchase a firearm.
