Our system is also much, much faster than using the FBI. I typically get an answer in less than 5 minutes. Added costs? Yes there are but as someone in business it is worth it to me for the increased speed and accuracy.


Steve, if it worked great at $10, then it continued to work at $6, why raise it to $15? Possible answer ............. to further discourage the buying of more guns in the first place.

Hey, don't laugh. It worked when Bill Clinton raised the annual fee for a FFL from $10/yr. to $200/yr. Licensees dropped from 282,00 to barely over 100,000 in just a short time span. I was one of them who, due to moving a small number of guns, could not justify the increase.

Follow the $$$$.
