NICS – National Instant Criminal Background Check System

Leave a reply
What an NICS Background Check is and related law like the Brady Act

An NICS background check is a search of the national instant criminal background check system maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the purposes of screening potential firearms and explosives purchasers.  In the United States the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Act) of 1993 mandates that anyone looking to buy firearms or explosives in the USA now have to have a NICS background check performed on them before being allowed to complete their purchase.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is a point of sale system used wherever firearms or explosives are sold in the USA.  An NICS background check is initiated by a seller through an automated electronic system or by telephone.   The request then goes to the FBI who then determines if the applicant should be approved or denied purchase of the firearm(s) or explosives being sought.   The NICS uses the criteria outlined in the Gun Control Act of 1968 to determine if a potential buyer is allowed to purchase firearms or explosives.  In addition to criminal records, the NICS index search checks for other disqualifiers that would prohibit someone from owning a gun.  The law requires Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) to get the green light from running an NICS background check before transferring a firearm.  If the NICS background check comes back negative then the seller has to deny sale of the firearm to the buyer.

The national instant criminal background check system was officially launched by the FBI on November 30, 1998.  It was then immediately used by all the Federal Firearms Licensees, who since then have been able to accept or deny gun purchase requests instantly.  In certain cases where definitive denial records are not present, but significant red flags are raised, it could go into examination in which case the results would not be instant.   Prior to completing a firearms sale, merchants/cashiers either call in an NICS background check to the FBI/designated agency or perform the request online  to get confirmation on whether or not their customer has a criminal record or other item that would make them ineligible to complete the purchase and transfer of gun(s) or explosives.

NICS background checks are a necessary step in the sale of firearms and explosives.  It helps prevent criminals, illegal aliens and terrorists from gaining possession of deadly weapons that could compromise the safety of unarmed civilians.

* The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is located at the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and has made over 100 million NICS background checks in the last decade, leading to more than 700,000 denials.  It also ensures the timely transfer of firearms to eligible gun buyers. http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics.htm

PayPal vs. Credit Cards

More and more online buyers are using PayPal as an alternate form of payment for their online orders.  Why?  We have gathered that with rampant use of credit card fraud, online buyers wanted a safer and easier way to order online without exposing their credit card numbers, and of course to save some money by avoiding credit card fees.

What is PayPal?

PayPal lets you easily send money through the internet without compromising the privacy of your credit card information.  CriminalBackgroundRecords.com added PayPal as a new form of payment for its criminal background reports and other background searches it offers because of the demand of millions of online buyers choosing PayPal instead of the standard credit cards when ordering online.  We understand why Internet purchasers are choosing PayPal over alternate forms of payment, mostly credit cards, and that is because PayPal is safer, easier and currently has no additional fees applied to the use of it.  Why is PayPal safer than using standard credit cards?  PayPal is safer because you can still pay with your credit card, bank account or PayPal balance without exposing your account numbers to the merchant (website that you are buying something from).  Easier because through the checkout process you do not need to enter your financial information over the merchant’s website as PayPal already has your financial information on their end and therefore does not require you to re-enter it.  This simple method actually reduces the overall ordering time as you only need to enter your PayPal email address and password, two inputs of usually memorized information.

Paying online with PayPal at CriminalBackgroundRecords.com gives you all the following benefits:

  • Speedy ordering all through the criminal search checkout process.
  • Safe online ordering of criminal background checks without revealing or exposing your credit card details.
  • You get to choose if you want PayPal to debit your credit card, bank account or to pull money directly from your current PayPal balance.

CriminalBackgroundRecords.com delivers formatted, substantive background reports from county level criminal background checks to geographically comprehensive national criminal searches throughout the USA.  We offer criminal background checks in every state in the nation, and now with PayPal as a new payment ordering mechanism on the site; we are making it possible for our current members who prefer to use PayPal as a form of payment to do so.  We have also added PayPal as a form of payment for our criminal history reports in order to allow new users (who may only exclusively use PayPal when ordering online) to have the opportunity to purchase the best criminal background record reports available on the Internet today, with the payment method they trust the most.

CriminalBackgroundRecords.com hopes this article helps its browsers and users become more educated in the varying online payment methods available today, and more informed as to what exactly to expect when using PayPal to purchase criminal background reports from our site.
