Just got a call from my state attorney generals office. She left a message saying.

We received your application to mfg a firearm. We do not handle that here in this office. You need to send a copy to your county sheriff. We can either shred this for you, or send it back. But it needs togo to your county Sheriff.

How do I proceed with this? AFAIAC they got notified. Lol

What would you do?

I missed the best part of the message.

She said I have to hand deliver it in person to my local Sheriff.

That is a new one to me. Lol

Just ignore all of it.  They are a CLEO as defined by the ATF.  You notified them.  Job done.

My CLEO office called me and said to stop sending them to us as we shred them. I said the ATF requires me to do so....their response besides F the ATF was then put it in an envelope. put a stamp open it and then throw it away

I called the number back, but it went to voicemail. I left a message saying sorry for the confusion, go ahead and shred it thanks.

Saving my voicemail as proof they were notified lol

I have been sending mine to local PD.  I have not heard back on a single one.  This is over 10 years.

Since you got a response, you have proof you notified them.

Law requires notification. You did that and they acknowledged it.

As long as ATF recognized them as CLEO and that’s what’s on your form then you’re good to go.
In my uneducated and totally not really knowing any better thinking is that sending them to a state AG office there’s more a chance they will be discarded especially if  your actual local CLEO is Democratic in nature and antigun.
Living in Philadelphia I have no doubt the CLEO notifications they receive are filed for future reference so sending them to AG is preferred.

This is actually a question I have. I eFiled 3 Form 1s, I listed Co Sheriff for CLEO on all 3, just copied the address and phone number off their website.

Do I need to do anything else? Do I need to mail them copies of my Form 1s?

Yes.  The instructions are on the form for line 10, and read the certification in bold text above the signature line.

I will never send them to my sheriff. We found out from one of his staff that he has a database of all the forms sent to him. I'm not sure if that's even legal but he can fuck off.

In the past he would not sign off for individuals to get NFA stuff.  I had to do a trust when I first started out in the NFA game.
What's the worst that could happen?
