States Subject to the Waiting Period Provision Imposed by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act; States Having Alternative Systems to the Waiting Period Provision; Listing of Chief Law Enforcement Officers for Purposes of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (93F-057P)

摘要

Beginning on February 28, 1994, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act imposes a 5-day waiting period on the sale, delivery, or transfer of a handgun in States that do not require a background check. ATF is issuing this notice to inform Federal firearms licensees of the States that do not currently require a background check, as well as those States requiring a background check for handgun purchasers. In addition, ATF has compiled a list of chief law enforcement officers for purposes of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.
