The report also found support was greatest in three areas: anyone with an armed robbery conviction, serious mental illness especially with a history of violence and anyone with a history of alcohol and drug abuse.

New survey: Most gun dealers support expanded background checks

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
More than half of those gun dealers are in favor of comprehensive background checks. That's according to a new survey from UC Davis' Violence Prevention Research Program.

The group surveyed gun retailers in 43 states in sold at least 50 guns a year.

The report also found support was greatest in three areas: anyone with an armed robbery conviction, serious mental illness especially with a history of violence and anyone with a history of alcohol and drug abuse.

The authors say they believe this is the first of it's kind when it comes to getting the perspective on gun shop owners on federal gun policy.

Hyatt Gun Shop in west Charlotte has been in business for 50 years. Larry Hyatt, the owner there told me their bottom line doesn't trump public safety.

"We don't want to get someone approved that shouldn't," he said. "That sale is not important to us."
