TWIC cards

[Countryman]

Oh, I've bought several guns since getting my TWIC card, no delays whatsoever.

Same here no delays at all

I have both and haven't had any issues

ave had both for a LONGGGGGGGGGGG time and never had any issue.

Twic is simply to access an area with a Marsec Security Level, nothing more than that and 99% of places cant even read the damn card

Exxon/Chevron Heliports were the first ones that I know of to get chip scanners BUT since the Security Guards had NO training on how to use the machine they quickly discontinued it and started doing like everybody else and just writing down names and manually verifying that they do have one and you are G2G.

Waste of money .............

The issue you are discussing involves contract employees working at plants such as Exxon. In that example, Exxon is not their employer. But Exxon is the property owner and can post its property, or make its own rules and policies that pertain to contractor's privileges regarding possession of guns in their vehicles.

The employer (in this case, the uncle of the member who posed the question) is not allowed to prohibited his employees from having guns in their vehicles.

This is a loophole in the original bill that was brought to Wooten's attention shortly after the bill was files, but was ignored.

Contractors are able to check in firearms in lockers by going through the refinery. It requires getting a permit through security.

Some Contractors at ExxonMobil are able to check in firearms in lockers by going through the refinery. It requires getting a permit through security.

When the procedures were first implemented, it depended on the work status (full time with picture ID or not) of the contract employee. Part-time and those w/o photo badge were not allowed to store firearms. May have changed

I've been put on a 5 day hold every trip to the gunstore since passing my federal background check for my TWIC card Never before.

g

I have a TWIC card, and A CC permit. I have never ben put on hold when purchasing a firearm. There is something else going on there.

I am also worries out this. I was told that sometimes after you get a TWIC card you can experience a delay when purchasing a new firearm. Your story is not the first I have heard of this and hope it doesn't happen to me.

TWIC stands for Transportation Workers Identification CARD. Just sayin'

I have one, and I bought a firearm ... recently. No delay, no problems.
