NFA paperwork will no longer require CLEO sign-off
« on: January 05, 2016, 09:00:41 AM »
According to this TTAG article, the ATF amended their rules on CLEO signatures - CLEO notification will be required (much like it already is for C&R FFL application/renewal) but CLEO signoff will not be required for NFA items anymore. Not going to matter much here, but in NFA legal states with anti-gun local LEO's, this would remove the impediment. Likely an effort by the ATF to stop the use of NFA trusts, actually something of a good-news story.
