Are there some states, or is it all states that require a nics ck, even though the buyer has a ccp? thanks

  The NICS check is required for purchases by non-licensees according to federal law; it is done in all states. Many states have Gun Owners Cards, CCWs, etc, which allow buyers to avoid lengthy delays & background checks required by state law; however, the federal law cannot be disregarded by dealers no matter how stringent state/local law may be.
  
  Federal law does not require a NICS check for a Curios & Relics licensee, since that is done every time the license is renewed. Some states are not satisfied with this, & still require a NICS check for C&R holders.

  This is from the
  
  National Instant Criminal Background Check System Fact Sheet
  
  
  Persons holding firearm permits which qualify as alternatives, per the ATF, under the permanent provision of the Brady Act are not required to undergo a NICS check.

  See the link for a list of state permits that will exempt you from the NICS check.
