I read this post from 2004. http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=8&f=20&t=176569
In the post someone mentioned that: "Others who can sign a Form 1/Form 4" State Police Captain or equivalent top district officer. District Attorney or judge of a court of general jurisdiction (jurisdiction over your address, and ability to charge you with a crime). Federal Agency Special Agent In Charge or equivalent of a field office with jurisdiction over your address. US Attorney with jurisdiction over your address. I live in a township and don't have a police force so I would need to go to the county to get it signed. I live south of Chicago and in a gun friendly county (Will). Going to the the Sheriffs office would be a pain since I don't live that close. I do however have a a state police district right down the road. What I am asking is if that list above is valid? Can I get my form signed by a State Police Captain as research has not turned up anything on this other than that post? Most sites I read just say CLEO as referring to sheriff. |

From the current CFR:
A certificate of the local chief of police, sheriff of the county, head of the State police, State or local district attorney or prosecutor, or such other person whose certificate may in a particular case be acceptable to the Director, shall be completed on each copy of the Form 1 (Firearms). I'm not sure a state police captain would satisfy the requirements. You could just wait 6 months for the new rule to go into effect. While you'd have to submit fingerprints and a photograph, it becomes a CLEO notification, not permission. |
