Secure Outcomes, a leading designer and producer of digital livescan fingerprinting systems for Class III firearms dealers, has worked closely with firearms manufacturers and retailers to help dramatically streamline the old National Firearms Act (NFA) transfer process system.

As part of the new processing framework product launch, Secure Outcomes is providing 25 of its LS/GunSmoke digital fingerprinting units to an initial qualified group of Dead Air Class III firearms dealers.

Dead Air, Gemtech, and Silencer Shop, prominent Class III firearms manufacturers/distributors, presented the new proposed barcode system and form generator to the ATF to significantly reduce the delays previously encountered in the NFA processing system.

Secure Outcomes' LS/GunSmoke system is designed to supply Class III firearms dealers and manufacturers with a complete integrated package of fingerprinting capabilities that meet both the new ATF barcode transfer processing and the Rule 41F requirements for Class III firearms dealers.

Since product launch, over 60 Class III firearms dealers in almost every state have purchased and are using LS/GunSmoke systems, according to the company.

The main benefit that LS/GunSmoke provides to dealers and their customers is to provide a one-stop integrated package with the new ATF bar-coding system to dramatically reduce by six to eight months the previous wait time of the ATF approval process, the company says.

Dealers can log into any of the Dead Air, Gemtech, or Silencer Shop websites and click the link to complete a customer's Form 4 using the new free form generator, which quickly populates the form with the customer's information and choice of product.

The LS/GunSmoke system fast scans the customer fingerprints and takes and prints the required photograph. The dealer sends the printed bar-coded form with the Secure Outcomes information to the ATF for the new fast processing.

Jack Harper, Secure Outcomes president, said, "I believe firearms dealers that use the Secure Outcomes LS/GunSmoke system with the new bar-coding will see significant competitive advantages that will build greater market share for them with the terrific decrease in ATF approval time from almost a year down to just a couple of months. I see customers flocking to those dealers."

Harper further stated, "We are especially happy to have been working with top quality manufacturers such as Dead Air on this."

Secure Outcomes designed the LS/GunSmoke system to supply firearms dealers and manufacturers a complete integrated package of fingerprinting capabilities that meet both the new ATF barcode transfer processing and the Rule 41F requirements for Class III firearms dealers. LS/GunSmoke also meets the needs of states that require in-class fingerprinting for concealed carry / CCW classes.

The LS/GunSmoke handles everything for the firearms dealer/concealed carry instructor including automatic self-scoring/grading of the fingerprints to FBI standards to virtually eliminate card rejects from federal/state authorities.

LS/GunSmoke also includes the integrated ability to take and print 2"x 2" passport-style color photographs required by ATF and can optionally collect and store digital customer signatures for repeat purchase processing.

The LS/GunSmoke includes full software/hardware warranty for one-year, software updates, training, and a reference video DVD as well as optional on-site training.

LS/GunSmoke systems arrive fully configured and ready to go right out of the box.

In addition, when ATF accepts digital information transmissions, Secure Outcomes guarantees that current owners of the LS/GunSmoke system will be able to upgrade to digital transmission to ATF at no charge.
