Quoted: I forgot- In Ottawa Co. The Catawba Island twp. police chief is also an FFL!!!! He probably would sign a form... I'll ask when I see him next.

Please post what you find out. I've always assumed that it would be hard to get so I never bothered. A friend of mine used to be a Reserve Deputy and he had a hard time getting his signed from one of the Sheriff's we used to have. I know little about Sheriff Bratton.
Next time I'm in Bob Roger's store (Catawba Police Chief), I'll ask him if he'd sign off. I've talked to him several times and he fully supports gun ownership but on class 3, who knows.

Where is his store?
I like Police Chiefs that suppport people's right to own guns. I'll have to stop in and check the place out, next time I get through Catawba.

The name of his place is Catawba Sporting Goods and address is 2268 NW Catawba Rd. 419-797-2412. Best way to find it is.....
Take Rt 2 and get off on the Catawba Island/53 North Exit and take 53 North through both lights (past McDonalds, Ponderosa etc.). Past the second light, go down about 2 or 3 miles and on the left is Cemetary Road.
Take Cemetary Road past the Police Station/Fire Department to the stop sign (be careful, the speed limit is 25 or 35mph and it's past a police station
).
At the stop sign, look across the road and to your right and there is a house with a driveway that drops down. At the bottom of the drive is his shop and most of the time there will be at least one Police Car parked there.
Because he works during the day, he mostly only opens during the afternoons and evenings (I think most times he opens from 3:30 or 4:00 on). If you are in the area, you may want to call first to be sure he's open. Many times he's out fishing or something and doesn't open. He supports gun rights as well as CCW and is a nice guy.
Because he is a LEO, you may need to inform him if you CCW and many times there will be one of his Officers there also. Sometimes it feels strange to be checking out and bull shitting about guns with uniformed cops next to you.
