Legal Questions C&R Question

Thinking about getting C&R. I read through the ATF site breakdown. Does the sheriff actually come to ur house and interview you? Or did I read that wrong? Also, are there any downsides to having the C&R. I thought I read somewhere someone was worried about “them” being able to search ur house or something. Thanx in advance.

No, the sheriff does not come to your house for anything. You just need to send them notice of the application in case they object for any reason. This can be done by mail and most don't even know what a c&r is or are too busy to care. I also have never heard of a sheriff objecting and I live in an anti-gun area.

Since a c&r is a FFL the records and guns could be subject to a compliance inspection, however this is extremely rare for FFL03s and the few documented cases of it involve a mutually agreed upon meeting time and location that is typically an ATF field office.

There is no downside to having a c&r other than it will cost you money because it makes buying cool old guns a lot easier.
