I have a valid license, went to Rural King to purchase a new firearm. Was told i had to submit a background check as store policy. Anyone else run into this. I though I was exempt as a valid Kentucky Concealed Deadly Weapons License holder. I have purchased many firearms and there was never any issue, just check the box and walk out with the firearm. P.S. I will not be doing business with them now.

Mass and Florida do a background check, even if you have a license to carry. I think its standard practice in all states.

I wouldn't say it is standard practice in all states. I'm in Louisiana and our 5-year permit allows us to bypass the check.

Louisiana law: https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/background-check-procedures-in-louisiana/
I guess it depends on when the license was issued, they have a date in there.

We have to do a background check in Indiana too, regardless if you have a permit or not.

As of Nov 1 that will be true for OK as well if the permit is less than 5 years old. You still have to fill out the 4473, but the FFL doesn't need to call it in.
