Background check fee, who gets the money?
 

Happy fathers day folks! I've been wondering for quite some time about this background check fee thingy. I reside in Nevada, and we have to pay $25 background check fee each time we purchase a firearm. Some call it Brady check, FBI name check or NCIS check, or whatever it is. We pay $25, fill up the form, LGS fax it to ATF. An hour later or sometimes less, LGS receive a call back in regards of the decision. So who gets the money? I used to pay those fees before i got my CCW, as my CCW was issued after July'11. So free background check for me since then. I have no regrets paying it before. This is just a pure curiousity question, nothing else. I hope you FFL holders or LGS won't mind my question.
Thank you

Sounds like another scam coming down the pipe.

I never payed for one in KY before my CCDW.....

Yes some states don't require it.

Maybe the shop uses the money to pay for the check??

No fee in Arizona. Sounds like a ripoff...

I charge $20 for a transfer and background check.

$5 goes to the Florida Departement of Law Enforcement.
The other $15 goes to me for my expenses (Faxing my FFL for the firearm being transferred, renewal fees for licenses, insurance, phone, etc...)

Now before someone get riled, I put that $15 into an account and as the renewals come up, they get paid. Every little bit helps.

That is my situation, other FFL holders have more expenses than I do.

Thats what i thought. Thats reasonable and i said i have no regrets paying it. Law abiding citizen i should say ;)

Here in VA there is a charge of $2-3 for a dealer to do the background check (ours is thru VA state police) That is what the dealer is charged by the state, and charge is passed on to the customer- no sales tax on the charge.

in Texas they either don't charge a fee for a background check, or if they do, they must just factor it into the price of the gun. not for sure. when i buy one, i fell out the 4473 form, they call it in, 5-15 minutes later i pay for the gun, and that's it.
