Background check

[Javy]

How much does your dealer charge you for the FBI Background Check?

 

[Javy]

As per today's USA TODAY newspaper last month 2.5 millions of backgrounds were made on Jan 2013 and 2.8 millions on Dec 2012...
Make your number!!!!!

How much does your dealer charge you for the FBI Background Check?

Nothing. In Washington, they don't charge the dealer anything for the background check, so why should the dealer charge for it?

 

[Javy]

In Florida no less than $5.00, per report.

-O- never paid in MO.

Mine charges $5.

 

[jd_mitchell]

As of now, nothing

In MN if you have your CCL or a permit to purchase, after that no waiting or background checks. The Permit to Purchase you get from your local police and cost nothing. That is the ONLY thing somewhat nice about MN!

Damn, everyone I know in NV charges $25. Although that can be waived if you have a concealed carry permit issued after July 1 2011. (I think that is the date, may be June). Mine was issued in 2010 so I have always paid $25 as does everyone I know.

My dealer charged $20 less than list price for the firearm, then charged $20 for the background check :/

Any gun shop owner or employee? We need clarification on this issue.

Are you talking about for when you buy a gun from them or when you do a transfer after buying one on the internet?

I have never seen a gun store charge when you buy the gun at that store, but the standard seems to be about $35 for doing a transfer when buying off of the internet.

 

[sdprof]

Mine charged $25 when I had a gun shipped in.

Haven't bought a gun from the store, so I can't say about that case, but I'm betting no charge.

Nothing. In Washington, they don't charge the dealer anything for the background check, so why should the dealer charge for it?

Same here, in Oklahoma.

 

[JohnD13]

If I'm buying the firearm from them, they don't charge for the check. If I have one shipped to them they charge $25 for handling the transaction.

Here in NV and in Idaho the check was $25. When I reup my CCW, that will go away

 

[Javy]

Why they charge? It is free, isn't it?

 

[ITCH]

Here in TN most charge $10.00 for Background check. If needing assistance from Dealer for transaction $20.00

 

[jfisch]

It's free here in Indiana as well. I'm not sure but I would imagine some charge as a way of making up for the paper work involved. I can't see a reason to charge more than $5 though. Does the amount of paper work vary by state?
