Cleveland County Sheriff No Longer Signing

[338Shooter]

Got word today from a customer that Cleveland County Sheriff is no longer signing form 1s and 4s because of what's going on. You folks in Norman remember this doucher when it's time for reelection.

That's just wrong.

I take it 1s and 4s are for NFA buys like class 3 and suppressors (did I spell that right?). Sheriff Lester just got re-elected for what I think is a 4 year term.

And I'm sure more will follow this example of trying to be "politically correct".

This is the scariest part of any new federal legislation. I really think if a swell of states decided to buck any new federal gun laws, Oklahoma would join in. However, I believe we'd need County Sheriffs on board to kick feds out of town. I can only imagine how this guy and Whetsel would (not) take care of that business.

Years ago when I first got mine, either the sheriff or the DA could sign. Is that still the case?

Got it... He needs to go then, if for nothing else not having a backbone!

That really sucks. Thanks for the heads up on this. What other options would a Cleveland County resident have now other than going with a Trust?

And Instruction 2e for a Form 4:

There are several other options besides a county Sheriff.
