The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Who Can View Our NICS File? Help settle a discussion.

I was talking to a buddy today, and he asked me who can view what guns you purchase and when.

I didn't have the answer, but thought maybe one of you did.

He's under the impression that just anyone in a law enforcement or legal position can view it, but I think it's more confidential than that. I would think it would only be someone who is in a Federal position like an FBI agent or something.

He seems to think that even a Bankruptcy Lawyer could view your NICS file to see if you purchased any firearms in the last year. I doubt it.

Someone help put this to rest.

Thanks
