SPECIAL EDITION 9-11-01
BY REQUEST FROM THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS AND NICS, THE FOLLOWING IS A SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL FIREARMS RETAILERS
· ATF ISSUE SECURITY ADVISORY . . . The ATF has issued a special request that all federally licensed firearms retailers consider implementing additional security measures tonight and in the near-term to safeguard their inventory following the terrorist attacks launched on the United States today.
· NICS FULLY FUNCTIONAL . . . Officials at the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in Clarksburg, WV, have said that the increased volume of telecommunications usage nationwide has resulted in some retailers having difficulty in obtaining NICS checks. NICS says the system is fully operational and delays retailers encounter are strictly due to the telecommunications system overload. The ATF and NICS appreciate your patience during these difficult times.
