8. From the FBI:

Thirteen states have agencies acting on behalf of the NICS in a full Point-of-Contact (POC) capacity. These POC states, which have agreed to implement and maintain their own Brady NICS Program, conduct firearm background checks for FFLs’ transactions in their respective states by electronically accessing the NICS. Upon completion of the required ATF Form 4473, the FFLs conducting business in the POC states contact a designated state agency to initiate a NICS background check in lieu of contacting the NICS Section.
Full POC states (contact state/territory for all firearm background checks, including permits): California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia

IMHO, since Nevada is a full POC state, it is the state's responsibility to offer to FFLs and other authorized entities the means to get an BGC. The state simply saying, "Call the FBI" is bogus and may violate the state's agreement with the FBI. I know there is federal funding attached to certain levels of participation but a significant share of the cost of being a full POC state is paid by the state.
