Support_and_Defend, that's what I'm hoping, but I'm concerned that if the background check system used is the same it could cause a problem.

wally626, good point - FFLs in this state can waive the NICS check at their discretion if the buyer has a CCW. Theoretically this could allow me to circumvent the 90 day rule if I had the CCW. But this is true regardless of whether I fulfil the 90 day requirement at the time I get the CCW. I could pass a NICS check, get the CCW license, leave the country, come back and immediately buy a gun with the CCW license - I guess that's a flaw in the system. I wouldn't do it of course since I am legally responsible for making sure I meet the 90 day requirement.

But it would be an equal flaw in the system if I have to wait 90 days before I can apply for my CCW, because that is not legally necessary - the federal government has no say in the issuing of state carry licenses.
