First, counties in PA don't have a Police Chief, unless you were referring to the Philadelphia Police Chief. In the world of NFA, words matter.
To make it simple, pick one of those people per the ATF instructions and send the CLEO forms. I pick the Head of the State Police. In the past, they have forwarded the paperwork to ATF with an angry letter saying they don't know what to do with them. I don't care, not my problem. |

Quoted: I am trying to make this simple. In the past, I have sent any Form 1 to my County police chief, but ATF instructions say I can send to State Police. Is this true if I have a local PD or Sheriff? Per ATF instructions: “The chief law enforcement officer is the local chief of police, county sheriff, head of the state police, state or local district attorney or prosecutor.” Yes. The only caveat is that the CLEO that you choose needs to have jurisdiction over the area where you reside. So you can't send the forms to a neighboring city police chief that doesn't have jurisdiction over your area. |

Because he wants to make sure he's not going to have some ATF issue later, and wanted to verify.
Don't be such an ass. Either help people here or keep quiet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because he wants to make sure he's not going to have some ATF issue later, and wanted to verify. Yet the instructions (that the OP posted) clearly state who can receive the CLEO notification. Don't be such an ass. Either help people here or keep quiet. I'm not being an ass. If I wanted to be an ass I could point out the uselessness of YOUR post.  |

So what, he just asked for confirmation of that. People want to be sure of things for NFA items.
No one is impressed by your too cool for school act. Either help people who ask questions here or keep quiet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get your point, and I sympathize, but I have heard a complete moron argue fervently that the instructions mean you must work your way up the chain, i.e. if you have a Chief of Police, it must go there. If not, then to the Sheriff. If not, then...and so on. Stupid argument, but there was no moving this guy off that rock. I guess not everyone immediately realizes it's "Pick one from this list." I asked "how is this a question?" because the OP literally posted the answer to his own question. |

There’s zero requirement to pick a certain one. There are dozens of options for each person. The only necessary item is that they have jurisdiction over the address on the form.

Thanks. That was, indeed, my question. If one has a local CLEO, must he use that one or can one default to the State Police. I get it, words have meaning, so looks like I can choose. I was also in the midst of writing a “how to” prepare a Form 1, and got stuck on this. What works in PA may not work in NV, but every state must have a State Police Chief. |

I send mine to the attorney general of the state I reside, never an issue
