That beat the previous high in the month of March 2020 by almost 200,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now remember these are raw numbers. Some of the checks were for carry permits, some were recurring checks for stuff like FOID cards, and many sales do not require a NICS check due to the purchaser holding a carry permit in certain states. Nonetheless, most probably were for firearm sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see the NSSF adjusted NICS checks for the month. They should be available early next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Flight Doc asked for a link where he could enlarge or download the above chart.
