"ECheck" is a Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation computer system for Internet validation by Federal Firearm Dealers (FFL) of a buyers "ability" to purchase a firearm. Most dealers use a phone call to give the FBI National Instant Check System (NICS) ID information from the ATF Form 4473 that you fill out at the gun store. They receive back a YES or NO or delay answer. Yes you can buy the firearm or NO you can't or Maybe you are someone who is not allowed. They (NICS) people have to check with local authorities (who may be busy) to find out the results of an arrest or warrent or court order. If they don't get back to the FFL within three days the FFL can make the sale. ECheck can speed up the process using direct entry of the ID information with less chance for transcription errors.
