I ran into an issue that I'd like to know if my local Police/CLEO isn't following the rules correctly.
1. I had a lawyer create a trust for me.
2. I then purchased a suppressor from ProFire in Indy who gave me all the paperwork needed to send in
3. I got 2 passport sized photos from walgreens.
4. I went down to my police station & asked to get finger printed to submit with my paperwork along with my trust paperwork ( They asked what I meant by trust so I tried explaining that instead of a single person owning it, a legal entity would own it).
Here's where it got interesting, they said that they would need to hold the paperwork & fingerprint cards & have the sheriff sign off on it. I asked if a signoff is required as this was for a trust and they said that they don't give out fingerprint cards without having the sheriff sign off on my forms.
Now I know that some things changed with Obama's executive orders but I don't think I needed the CLEO signoff in the previous rules or in the current. Am I wrong? What should I do differently next time if I purchase a suppressor or NFA item.
