Using the Plugin

When you go to Section C, the button should read "Start NICS Check" (if it doesn't, go back to Company Settings and make sure you set the Background Check to "NICS").

Click the Start NICS Check button to launch the NICS/LEEP site and take you to the login screen where you can log in, then follow the instructions below:

• Click the Submit a Search Request link in the sidebar of LEEP.

Screen: Search Request Form - Subject Data Area

• Click the  plugin button in the toolbar which should click the "Yes" radio button on the screen and fill in the fields.
• Review the information for correctness, then click Continue

Screen: Search Request Form - Race/Ethnicity Area

• Click the  plugin button in the toolbar which should fill in the race/ethnicity information.
• Review the information for correctness, then click Continue

Screen: Search Request Form - Additional Info Area

• Click the  plugin button in the toolbar which should fill in any additional information.
• Review the information for correctness, then click Continue

Screen: Search Request Form - Verify Area

• Click the plugin button in the toolbar which should fill in the Verify Search Information data and automatically submit the search request, and after a moment you will see the Results screen
• Wait a moment on the Results screen, and the Plugin will automatically switch you back to the Section C tab and automatically enter the resulting status and (if it was "PROCEED") the NICS transaction number from the submission. NOTE: The LEEP tab you left will remain open, so you can switch back to it manually if you want to perform other actions in LEEP.

If you notice any anomalous behavior, you may be able to "get back to normal" by following these steps:

• In LEEP, make sure to manually close any Search Request or Results tabs and log out of LEEP properly.
• Close any LEEP tab(s) you may have open.
• If you still have a Section C tab open, navigate back to the Manage 4473 screen, and then reopen Section C (if you need to try running another NICS check for that person)
