What if the CLEO refuses to sign off?

[NonexistentWarrior]

Hey everyone. New member here along with my first post as well. I turned 21 not too long ago and ever since its been guns guns guns for me. The past two weeks I've read all I can on suppressors and form 4's and how to fill them out and this post helped a great deal. One thing I did read somewhere is that the CLEO can refuse to sign the form. What then?
And without having to do the trust thing. Earlier one posted u didn't need a cleo signature if u went the trust route, correct me if im wrong.

sounds like its time for a trust if that happens.

^^^This^^^ Form a trust or corporation. Then your CLEO can go pound sand.

CLEO

If it was city, go to county, then trust? Also if you have a Title 2 dealer in your area , he may know who signs and who does not. Good luck

I'd wait to see if the guy refuses to sign or not. Most in Indiana will sign as far as I know, of course this changes as people change jobs...

Honestly, the new sherrif in Randolph county was downright polite. So was his staff.

There are others who can sign besides police chief or county sheriff such as a district attorney who prosecutes felonies, or a judge who adjudicates felonies.

As provided by regulations, certifications by the local chief of police, sheriff of the county, head of the State police, or State or local district attorney or prosecutor are acceptable. The regulations also provide that certifications of other officials are appropriate if found in a particular case to be acceptable to the Director. Examples of other officials who have been accepted in specific situations include State attorneys general and judges of State courts having authority to conduct jury trials in felony cases.
