Who knows how the Sheriff feels about signing off on NFA forms? Especially for folks who live smack in the middle of downtown (Predator, experience here?)...

I want to send in a form 4 and a form 1 (SBR and can) but I'm curious if there are any hoops to jump through/how hard it is to get signed off on.

I am also considering going the trust route as well though I've not made up my mind yet...


So for folks who went the sign-off route - anything I should know?

Those who went trust route - Good lawyers in PDX area familiar w/ NFA trust matters? What did you end up paying in fees and whatnot to get set up?



Thanks!

I'm "down south," so can't speak from any experience, but I do think the Sheriff will sign off and send you a little letter back along with your forms saying they don't approve/condone CIII but signed anyway.

Not a big deal. Just make sure you leave a copy of your ODL with them, they may not ask but you will be back if you don't.
I have had 17 of them signed off this year , first 10 from Bernie - 7 from Skipper, I have a great collection of letters with all the S# on them - makes calling to check on them easy.

Thanks for the responses... I'm assuming getting signed off on should be no big deal, just looking for any bits of info that might make the process go smoother.

NoHair- Thanks for letting me know I need to leave a copy of my ODL w/ the forms, with my luck they wont ask and I would have to drive back over there...

No problem. Most likely the "help" in the office will have no clue as to what you need done , just tell them " Only the Sheriff can sign these", and let them know if you want to pick them up or have them sent to you.
And I am assuming you know it is downtown and not on 122nd.Made that mistake the first time.
I just got an Email that my MP5 is shipping to my dealer Monday, looks like I will be there next week again.
Good luck

Sheriff Skipper signed 2 for me earlier this year, and before that, Sheriff Bernie would sign without too much issue.

I normally add a nice cover letter explaining the situation, a copy of ODL and a copy of OR CHL.

Most of the clerical staff should know what to do with these, so it should go pretty smooth.  Include a phone number so they can call you when they are signed.  Check back after a week to follow up.

And as nohair said, it's the address on 501 SE Hawthorne, suite 350.  You can mail them or deliver them in person.

Good luck!

Thanks guys! Now I just have to figure out which can I'm going to purchase so I can send in both forms at the same time...
