ATF on new rules for NFA transfers
Details here. The TLDR version is no more chief law enforcement sign off but they must be notified.

I am not seeing anything that addresses standard individual applicants. Is the CLEO sign-off still required for them? Also, are suppressors part of this? It doesn’t look like it.
Not that I have ever had ANY trouble with getting the CLEO sign-off. Hell, our Sheriff in Knox Vegas has been kind enough to send me the forms back in a legal envelope…AND pay the postage, so they weren’t folded in the SASE I left at his office.

@HL:
Its on the first page:
“This final rule …eliminates the requirement for a certification signed by the CLEO.”
No conditions on that.

Hey Patrick, That would make sense to me…but it says at the top:
“Machineguns, Destructive Devices and Certain Other Firearms; Background Checks for
Responsible Persons of a Trust or Legal Entity With Respect to Making or Transferring a·
Firearm”
Is an individual a “Legal Entity”? And is a suppressor considered among “Certain Other Firearms”?

I read the last part of the executive summary which says the new rule will save individuals 1.8 million dollars by not requiring a sign off (only notification) of the CLEO.
This is a very good thing for those of us that live in a major metropolitan area and do not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of getting CLEO approval.
Now a suppressor for a .22LR can go on my wish list. Perhaps I can get one if I win the lottery; cost is beyond my means at present.
