yea, I have always had it done at the sheriff for my previous 2,
but my work has me away from home, for the next few months let alone trying to get there during office hours, unless i literally took vacation.
i have arranged with the sheriff to mail him my forms for him to sign and he will mail them back. my question now is what to do about fingerprints.... cant do them via mail
I get the sheriff to do mine when I go in to get him to sign my paperwork. Since I have to be there anyway, its the whole two birds/one stone idea. Im pretty sure you can roll your own (though use the blue fingerprint cards or they WILL send them back), but since you have to go see the sheriff anyway...
Maybe my town in an exception, but they don't even charge to print me (and they should... ive been fingerprinted more this year that most professional criminals), and are really nice about the whole process.
Last time I got printed for my Form 4 the lady doing them said I had the longest finger nails she's ever seen on a guy and complemented me on not being smelly. So I guess make sure you're clean and have trimmed finger mails when you go in lol..
In Louisville, it's the jail where's it's done at. Not sure on form 4's but for getting FFL you have to get the actual blank finger print cards sent to you from the ATF as opposed to using the ones from the place that takes the prints.
