First of all let me say Thanks for allowing me to join this forum. I have been a Madison County, Alabama resident since 2001. I have bought several firearms including 3 pistols since I've been here and have obviously passed all the required checks for purchase. I finally decided to go down last week and apply for my concealed carry pistol permit. My question is, Is the same background check used for the pistol permit that is used for pistol purchase? If not, could somone please explain the difference? I humbly thank anyone that can answer this question for me in advance.
