I'm going to guess the OP doesn't have an AL pistol permit. Last I checked, and I live in a neighboring county, they don't run a NICS when you have a permit here. You still have to fill out a 4473, but they are not required to run a NICS as long as you have a valid state issued ID, and carry permit. At least that's how my last purchase happened when I purchased a pistol in the very town he lives in.
Unfortunately that is no longer true for Alabama. Due to at least 2 counties getting caught approving pistol permits for prohibited persons, the FBI suspended indefinitely the ability for our state's FFLs to transfer based simply upon the possession of a state pistol permit. This went into effect late last year...
