So much for a conceal carry permit stopping NICS delays...

Your dealer messed up. The CHP doesn't prevent you from getting your NICS delayed,,, instead, with a valid CHP, your dealer shouldn't have even ran the NICS in the first place. See the link below straight from LSP's website. They provide a link so dealers can see if your CHP is valid or not. If it's valid, they don't need to run a NICS check.

I guess it's up to the discretion of the dealer... Here's the letter that was sent out in 2015 stating that dealers MAY accept a permit... Doesn't state that they have to.

Guess it's time for me to find a new FFL that'll accept the permit.

So you showed them your CCL Permit and they still ran the NICS Check?

Went in to pick up my transferred item. Dealer told me to start filling out the background form. I asked him if having a conceal carry permit is a different process. He said "No. You need to fill out the form." I mentioned that I had heard that if a person has a permit then a background check doesn't need to be performed as long as the permit is valid and in good standing. All he said was "I need you to fill out the form". I've heard that you still indeed have to fill out the form so I did but then when I was finished he said he'd be right back so I asked him again why he's running a background check even though I have my permit. He said "this is the way we do it here".

If any of you Northshore guys know Sydney at Optimum Outfitters you know he can be ornery and stubborn in a "it's my way or no way" kind of way. So I didn't push any further.

Any recommendations for an FFL in Mandeville/Covington that take a permit and don't charge more than $25?

Like you mentioned they can still do a NICS if they want. However, even if you have a CCP you always have to fill out "the form", aka 4473. One other stipulation is that your CCP cannot be a lifetime permit.

As for the NICS and delays, the NICS is not a database of everyone...it is a database of prohibited or possibly prohibited people. When they run a check they're checking your information against the database for a match or partial match. IMO, the TWIC card thing is a myth as it makes no sense why this action would get you added to the NICS as a prohibited person or questionable person. The stat is likely skewed since Gulf South is a high TWIC card area, so the probability of someone having one in general is high and so it is not unlikely a lot of people that get delayed (for other reasons) would have a TWIC. Also, dealers never randomly ask those who get a proceed if they have TWIC card, so there is nothing to compare the data too. I have seen plenty of people show up in "plant gear" and get immediate proceeds. If you have walked the straight and narrow your whole life your name probably at least partially matches someone else. If it makes you feel better, I have an 07 FFL and 02 SOT, shite and a CCP. The last time I transferred a gun to myself I got delayed, per usual. So, I was in charge of watching the gun while they made sure I was OK to have it.

Plus, if you are letting that employee do 4473s there are a hundred other ways they could mess it up, for instance, overlooking someone put USA for county instead of their Parish. I don't know how Jim sleeps at night, that shite would drive me insane

Yea, but a simple mistake (negligence) like that isn't going to rise to civil liability because it couldn't be seen as the cause of someone else's injury (if they would have gotten the gun even if you did it right, you just made a mistake in form, then no but-for causation). You could get fined or something I guess, but no one's going to successfully sue you for something like that.

You fail to call in a background check when it was supposed to have been called in, that person would have failed the background check, and then kills someone. That's negligence per se and your fricked. If I was running a retail establishment that sold firearms I wouldn't take the chance that an employee had a lapse in memory considering I'm the one that's ultimately liable.

But if you're a Sheriff's Dept, ATF or FBI, you won't have to worry about any civil liability from an improperly excecuted gun sale.

Oh really? Never underestimate the ATF when they want to frick someone over. LINK

ETA: No one wants the gun used in a crime/negligence especially if there is the slightest clerical error on the 4473.

Nothing in that article is about civil liability. That was regulartory and criminal liability which I stated could still very well happen; I'm talking a victim or their estate being able to sue for negligence and get damages. There is a law that protects gun owners from personal liability for acts by those they sell guns to, but it only covers legal sales. If you fail to run a background check when you should have and the person goes out and kills someone with a gun they shouldn't have been able to purchase, then that victim can sue you personally for wrongful death due to negligence.

The situation I'm talking about, using the facts of the article you posted, would be if the retailer failed to run a background check, sold the weapon, the background check would have resulted in a denial, and then the purchaser later used it to injure/kill someone. Then, the victim/estate could sue the retailer or the corp/llc if he's incorporated (he would likely be immune from personal liability in that case).

Considering the economic impact of a wrongful death judgment, that's not risk I'm taking no matter how remote the possibility is.

Agreed, I've had a TWIC since it came out and have never been delayed.

I don't know what you're getting at dude...fricked is fricked and there's 100 ways an employee working for an FFL could frick over the FFL. If you don't have confidence in your employee to be able to handle a CCP dispo then they shouldn't be touching 4473s or the bound book period. It's more about people being set in their way or having asinine policies like Academy not selling you a gun until you get a Proceed from NICS.
