ATF has recognized the concealed weapons permits in State A and State B as valid alternatives to a NICS check. Can a resident of State A use a concealed weapons permit issued by State A to purchase a long gun in State B without undergoing a NICS check?

Error message

Notice: Trying to get property 'uri' of non-object in atf_global_settings_file_entity_access() (line 53 of /mnt/www/html/atfstg/docroot/sites/all/modules/custom/atf_global_settings/atf_global_settings.module).

No. A permit qualifies as a NICS alternative only if it was issued by the state in which the transfer is to take place.
