Frequency: Annually since 1994
Designed to collect annual data describing the number of inquiries made in connection
with presale handgun checks and the number and basis for rejection of such inquiries.
Data are collected directly from state agencies conducting background checks and from
local checking agencies and include the number of firearm applications made to the
agency, firearm applications rejected by the agency, and the reasons for rejection.
Data collection procedures are adjusted to reflect the differing presale check
procedures under the permanent system (which became effective on 11/30/98) and the
interim period (02/28/94 - 11/29/98).
