Who has the address for the page listing which states' permits qualify as NICS alternatives?

no, somewhere on an official BATFE or FBI page they have a chart of the states that CCW permits qualify as NICS alternatives.

After my last handgun purchase,about 3 weeks ago,I got a little slip of paper in the mail...it says something to the effect of being good for NICS for 5 years.It just says to present it with my permit when getting a new gun.I've been buying guns for like 10 years and this is the 1st time I ever got one...

What, in particular, makes a given permit NICS exempt? I checked that link, but haven't ever seen why the ATF considers some permits "safer" than others. Even a quick search didn't pop up with the exact criteria used.

If I recall correctly, when you get your permit, the state must do a state background check and a Federal background check. Your permit must be renewed at least every 3 or 5 years with a new background check being done on renewal.

I don't really think that there is any rhyme or reason behind it. Like most "anti freedom" initiatives, the whole NICS system is designed to be incomprehensible.

Remember, it's not about Guns, its about Control.
