If you want an NFA item, you better go and get it quick before ATF-41P is enacted,  as it appears NFA "shall sign" legislation is not a top priority at TSRA. OC seems to dominate.

HB 415 by Rep. Debbie Riddle-Licensed open carry of a handgun (Identical to HB 106)
HB 164 by Rep. James White-Licensed open carry of a handgun
HB 910 by Rep. Larry Phillips-Licensed open carry of a handgun
SB 346 by Sen. Craig Estes-Licensed open carry of a handgun
HB 195 by Rep. Jonathan Stickland-Open carry of a handgun without a license
SB 342 by Sen. Donald Huffines-Open carry of a handgun without a license

CHL Related Bills

HB 198 by Rep. Dan Huberty-Relating to CHLs attending school board meetings
HB 226 by Rep. Ryan Guillen-Carrying a handgun by a CHL on governmental property (Identical to SB 273)

SB 311 by Sen. Donna Campbell-Makes changes to where a CHL can carry in PC 46.03 and PC 46.035  (Press Release)
HB 308 by Rep. Drew Springer-Places a CHL may carry a handgun

What's ATFP-41?



Does the Tarrant County Sheriff still sign?

For $130 you don't have to worry about again!  The ATF admitted it is so backlogged from letters it will take 2 years before they can even start entertaining it.  Hopefully by then we will not have an anti gun president who will trash that piece of shit rule.  On the back burner because the ATF put it on the back burner.

ATF-41p isn't in effect yet, and may or may not be delayed. Shall sign may or may not be required long term.

TSRA spends a lot of time doing the coalition building necessary to pass bills. This session the priorities are removing CHL  off limits locations (HB 308 and the most important to me) and OC.

2 years ago there was a ruckus that TSRA wasn't supporting OC. TSRA tries to advance legislation in the same priority as its members want.

ATF41p was the bull shit rule that obummer tried to force quickly on the ATF that closes a what idiots call a "loop hole" making trusts and corporations get LEO signature for NFA.  Right now trust and corps are exempt from that one step.  Although there is literally no evidence to support that people use it as a loop hole obummer wanted to get rid of that part.

Of course people use it as a loop hole. All kinds of people use trusts specifically because their sheriff won't sign.



That said, so what? The NFA is horseshit anyways.



I know, I know, Obama is a gun grabber. Yes, that is true.



But, I still want to know if Tarrant County will still sign. I am thinking of moving over there this summer and one of the big incentives is getting an SBR. I want an SBR and I would actually rather have it in my name than in a trust.

TSRA can only carry 2-3 bills at a time and if they are controversial...fewer. Not surprising that "shall sign" is not a priority right now.

Supposedly the Williamson Co sheriff won't sign, so my question is, does it have to be the Sheriff? Can I have the chief of Round Rock PD sign if I live there? or Liberty Hill? or Cedar Park?

Lots of people can legally sign:

Chief of Police for your city
County Sheriff
District Attorney
Head of State Police

There are others I'm missing I'm sure.

Out of curiosity what did Director Jones say about timeline.  My suspicion is that there is a good chance it will go into effect sometime this year, but would be interested if he conveyed  a more defined timeframe, 3 month, 6, 9 etc.

I have one, but I was just considering contingency plans if 41p goes thru.

I just sent in a Form 1 to get it signed by Sheriff Dee Anderson a week and a half ago. His secretary did say he still signs off on the NFA stuff.

Summer, but no specific date. I took it to mean late summer, like Sept 1.

Won't sign for suppressors.  Everything else is GTG.

Georgetown PD will do a standard background check and sign as long as you don't have anything outstanding (the original intent of the law). Cedar Park does not, new guy aparently from California, decided to "defer" to WILCO Sheriff.

I'm just paraphrasing a letter sent out last year once the June or July deadline passed, but they could have caught up.  Plus my guess is the NRA is still watching this like a hawk as this would be a national law and Texas would have no choice but the follow it if it became a law.  I am not sure what reach the TSRA has in Washington?

You totally missed my point, there is not one piece of evidence that anybody can find that somebody used this as a loop hole to then commit a crime with the NFA item purchased.  Also you sound like an Obama bot, having a legal trust or a corp is not a loop hole.  The law was written that way, that is not a loop hole.

Well, that's not what you said. You said there was no evidence that people were using trusts to get around CLEO sign off. People are absolutely using trusts to get around CLEO sign off. You never said anything about crimes.




But, I don't care that people are using it as a loophole. I think the NFA is bullshit.




As for me being an "Obama bot", that's ridiculous.

At an industry roundtable with ATF and a number of distributors, that the goal  for 41P was June 30, 2015 .

Sandra Codwell I believe. But yes, it's still the same lady. I received my Form 1 back. Sent it in 1/8/2015. It was signed 1/23/2015. There was a delay since one of the Chief passed away a couple of days after I mailed it in.

I read on another forum that they may have reached out to the OCTC folks, but OCTC basically has gone nuclear on everyone.

OCTC and Watkins met with Dan Patrick's staff late last week. Hopefully the 'cool it' message got through.

Calling your senator won't do much right now but I assume a companion bill will be filed in the Senate sometime soon.
