COE + FFL C&R have arrived!

[D.R.E.]

COE took less than two weeks.

C&R took not much longer.

Time to empty out the FFL safe. Christmas in feb!

I don't like a lot of the current laws, but the bureaucrazy seems fairly efficient compared to a decade ago.

Someone must like you at the BATFE. I've been waiting since mid December - not a peep.

That sucks. I sent priority mail, so maybe they expedited?

Now, do not sign the license. Scan it into your computer. Get your list of dealers you want to send the license to. Print out the copies and sign the copies and send them. If you cannot scan them, make copies somewhere else and sign the copies. Most places will not take a photo copy of your signature.

Ha! GF was just asking why I had 50 copies of it on the dresser

Don't forget to apply to all those nice online stores that give you discounts for being an FFL03...namely Graf and Sons

I carry an electronic copy of my COE (and the cover sheet with address) plus C & R on my hand held. If I find something worthwhile I can e-mail the documents to the store I happen to be in & sign away - saves carrying some paperwork.

Did you notice the COE doesn't carry an address on it? The separate cover sheet does have the address & I figure between the C & R with address, the COE cover with address that no further residency proof is required, but my habit is to still have a PG & E with me.

Oh, nice. That's smart. I'll have to do that.

So went down to Roger's Relics today and picked up 8 colt revolvers. Holy cow, the DROS fees sure add up.

On the other hand, I lucked out on a few pistols that I picked up cheap: amazing 1957 python w/ gorgeous blueing (I hope not a reblue, but looks like a good one if so), a 3-digit model 357 from the colt musuem w/ factory letter, a rare single action officers model match, and a 1st year 4-digit model 357. Plus some very cool officers model specials (though in 22lr).

My GF has given up on any interesting conversation in the near future...

don't forget about Brownells. They offer FFL's discounts...At least 01 licenses for sure, hopefully you can get the discount with an 03 license.

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but i just requested applications to get my C&R recently, and was wondering what COE is. i have read a handful of threads on getting your FFL03, but dont recall reading about a COE. Pardon my stupidity if its described somewhere else . Thanks
