Effective February 28, 1994, the interim provisions of the Brady Act required licensed firearms dealers to request a presale background check on handgun purchasers. These checks generally were to be conducted by the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) in the purchaser's residence community to determine, on the basis of available records, if the individual was legally prohibited from buying the firearm under the provisions of federal, state, or local law. The sale was not to be completed for 5 business days unless the dealer received an approval from the CLEO before that time. If the CLEO did not contact the dealer by the end of the 5-day period, the dealer could make the sale unless the dealer had reason to believe the transaction would be unlawful.
