Yes the rule change will happen, when they will go into affect? NOONE knows.

There has been zero talk about a grandfather clause as well. They may or may not grandfather all current processing applications.

Again, NOONE knows, not even the ATF!

this stinks, i am thinking about doing a few more form 1's really quick and getting them in, i hopes of being able to own a can or two just in case we are grandfathered in

there is no hope of getting cleo sign offs around here

Then get them in ASAP!

Noone knows when it will go in affect but I would personally have them in before the rule comment period ends.

That date is the 10th of December, right?

the last day for comments is Dec 9. i would get all my eforms in, well.... yesterday. then comment against the rule. after commenting against 41P, send a message to your federal reps too.

added to the comment section......

i also found a link to something i dont really understand, it looks like it says the cleo signoff could possibly be dropped?
can someone explain this?

Thats the old one, the new one has changes to require CLEO signoff.

It will kill alot of NFA sales, not just cans.

I foresee it being overturned or converted to CLEO notification in the future though.

i would hope so

why not cans?

This is the first time I am hearing about this as I haven't been around the forum very often lately.

I wrote my Congressman and the one R senator from my state about this AND the absurd wait times.

Reread my comment, I didn't say cans would not be affected, everything will be affected.

so i am getting ready to send in 3 form 1's on monday

i have a few questions


1. do i need to do 3 of the citizenship forms?

2. Do i need 3 copies of the trust?

3. can i send them all together in one package

4. can i send one check?

i want them in someones hand before the 9th, i am hoping for a grandfather clause

I just hope the first one sent will be ok, and i didnt do anything wrong that would get it kicked back

Send them all in in the very same package and you can include one check, one trust and one citizenship form.

thank you very much


i hope the cleo thing dies, it appears that michigan may make sbr legal

The other option is that states will pass "shall-sign" laws requiring LEOs to sign.

I think it's just going to be an inconvenience in the short term. There are others besides CLEOs who can sign. I think those in elected positions can play this off on one another politically- at least in Republican areas. I think it's doom for NFA stuff in CT, MA, and other heavily Democrat states.

is there somewhere on the net where i can fill out a form 1 online and then print it instead of hand writing the info for my 3 forms?, I would like to do this for neatness sake
