Confidentiality & Data SecurityLegal notice
MLP Intelligence Group provides background-screening, research, and public-record services. MLP does not determine whether an individual is legally eligible to purchase, possess, or transfer a firearm. Eligibility determinations are made by the appropriate government authorities. An MLP background screening does not replace any background check, verification, training, or other requirement performed by a county sheriff, licensed firearms dealer, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, or another government agency.
