It was originally designed to keep Tommy guns out of the general public in mobster era. If the price of a tax stamp kept up with inflation there would be significantly less stamp collectors around. $200 is cheap now compared to $200 then.thank you. Did my first form 4 a couple months ago with dealer help now working through a form 1 on my own. Clearly this whole program was designed to deny rights to the poor and lower middle class who pre internet could not afford the legal help needed to fill these forms out.
If it was submitted already then they did it. You have to name the notified CLEO on the forms.I just bought my first suppressor last month off of Capitol Armory. I filled out the paperwork and they submitted the form 4 as an efile for me but this part never came up at all.
Do I have to send a notification myself or do they send it with the other stuff we filled out? I imagine if the silencer co kiosks send it for you then CA would as well but I never read anything on their site about this part at all.
Do I have to send it after the approval comes in or should I send it now if Capitol Armory hasn't sent it?
If the form 4 was submitted to the ATF it's already done? Sorry just trying to make sure I do this all right.If it was submitted already then they did it. You have to name the notified CLEO on the forms.

Thank you so much for clarifying this.Yes. There's a section on Forms 4 and 1 that has to be filled in with:
Name
Title
Department name
and address of the LE official notified
There is a separate notification that you are supposed to send to the Cleo - basically a copy of your form 1/4. If you efile, the aft shouod email you a pdf copy of your form as well as a pdf of the cleo notification. I don't know if SS mails that out for you. I have always had to do it on my own. I never send it registered so who knows if it actually shows up. I feel like its mostly a courtesy anyway.If it was submitted already then they did it. You have to name the notified CLEO on the forms.
That’s what I just did, first one I did on my own so I guess I’ll wait 3 months to infinity to hear back on what I messed up on.Thank you so much for clarifying this.
I'm going to do a SBR form 1 soon and I think I have to do that all on my own so I'm going to have to make sure I do this all correctly.
Yeah, if you do a form 1 you have to do this all on your own. Since form 4s are more typically handled by the originating dealer on your behalf, they will usually handle the CLEO notification as part of that. The ones I've dealt with anyway.Thank you so much for clarifying this.

That's nice. None of mine ever did.Yeah, if you do a form 1 you have to do this all on your own. Since form 4s are more typically handled by the originating dealer on your behalf, they will usually handle the CLEO notification as part of that. The ones I've dealt with anyway.
I would have never done my first form 4 before a personal friend became a dealer and talked me into it. The process seems daunting for someone who hasn’t done itThat's nice. None of mine ever did.
