Hi,

My 03 FFL, Curios and Relics, license has come up for renewal again. I know there have been some changes to various ATFE requirements overall.

Is the CLEO notification letter still a requirement? I see that notification question still on the renewal form so I assume yes.

Thanks,

efxguy

I didnt have the sheriff sign anything.  I recall sending him a copy when I initially filed the paperwork years ago.

I renewed mine at the beginning of the year and the requirement was still there. I even used the same form letter that I have used before, just change the name of the CLEO.

That has always been an odd requirement.

I live about twenty minutes from my county courthouse and sheriff's office. When I renew my FFL 03, I drop a copy of my renewal off at the sheriff's office. Of the three times I have done this, I had a short interview with a newly elected sheriff who asked me what he was required to do with it. I told him it was an opportunity to share any current information your agency may have with the BATF concerning my FFL 03 renewal. Other than that, You can keep it in a file or toss it, as it is only a formality.

Why would you go any further than "Nothing" when asked what to do with it?

People usually volunteer a lot of info when speaking to cops.

When I received them for the LE agency, I’d glance at them to see who I might could talk guns with later, and then I put them into the shred bin.
