Welcome to the E4473 CCW Processing screen. This screen will help you save the proper information for CCW customers.
Click here to see E4473 CCW Processing screen details:
Status bar:
Across the top of the screen you will see a status bar. This will show you where you are in the E4473 process. Presently the firearms have been selected, money has been tendered, Form has been Accepted, and now we start recording the concealed weapon permit information instead of a background check.
Process CCW Later:
If you have selected the E4473 CCW Processing screen and the actual permit is not available at this time. Just select the “Save and Close button at the bottom right of the screen. This will save everything done so far and you can pickup the transaction later when the customer has the actual permit. You can also update the “Notes” section with any information that might be needed before saving and closing.
CCW Permit Information:
Make sure to type in all the available information on the concealed carry weapon permit. Although three of the four fields are optional, it would be in the best interest of the store to fill all these in. Also update Notes if additional considerations are to be made.
Check the checkbox under the "CCW - Concealed Carry Weapon Permit" section if the customer's valid permit information qualifies as an exemption to NICS.

CCW toggle button:
If the customer has a concealed weapons permit issued by the state that you would like to use instead of the background check, select the CCW toggle button and check the checkbox indicating that the CCW information qualifies as an exemption from NICS.
If your store is required to document a customer's CCW or similar permit information on the 4473, even when performing a NICS check, select the CCW toggle button and fill in the necessary CCW information. Leave the checkbox unchecked under the "CCW - Concealed Carry Weapon Permit" section, then toggle back to the NICS section to fill in the NICS Response and NICS transaction information.
Special Situations:
