C&R FFL 03 application question

Got a NOOBIE question. The application asks for a person's residence ( I assume one' personal residence) and if applicable a separate mailing address. What it does not mention is a shipping address.

Does a C&R gun have to only ship to either the personal address or mailing address if supplied? Or can it ship to a separate shipping address?

I often ship other purchases to my office for safety and security of deliveries instead of having them left on unsecured home front porch. Setting up "signature required" is not fool proof with "drop and run" deliveries that sometimes occur.

How do you handle this?

Thanks,

Mark

No responses to my last question. I will repost outside the Sticky posting.

Your FFL goes to the "mailing address", to be displayed there. I assume you must ship all firearms to this address.

e.g. I have "the shop" address (for the mailing address), but I live in another city (residence).

I put the address in where you live and where you want firearms delivered to, same. For fdx and ups, always hold the package at my nearby center, so i can pickup at my own choosing.

ATF has stated that you can have firearms delivered to you at ANY address you are currently at. not just those on your license. however, most FFLs will refuse to do so.

but for instance, If I knew an 03 FFL was vacationing away from his home, I could legally ship the firearm to his vacation home.

So much for the info!

some questions on filling out the C&R form:

Section 9 - "position and social security number" - since i am applying as an individual (not a corp, partnership, etc), i presume i just put "individual" for the position?

Section 10 "nonimmigrant alien certification" - i would assume this entire section - A, B and C - only applies to nonimmigrant aliens. but section C (related to hunting permits) almost sounds like it applies to US citizens too.

do i submit a copy to the chief of police of my CITY, or does it go to the Sheriff of the COUNTY? the instructions just say to send it to the CLEO of the "locality"

do people typically wait to get their C&R license approved before doing the livescan and applying for their COE?

thanks!

Section 9: I've always put "collector" and never had a problem.

Section 10: if you're a US citizen, you leave it completely blank, including "C".

If you have a City police dept, then you send a copy to your City police chief. If not, then it goes to the County Sheriff. Basically, who will show up at your door if you call 911?

I did my livescan and sent both apps in at the same time. COE took almost 3 times as long as the 03 to go thru. That's the state for you.

Now I wait...

Thanks again to those who took time to answer questions about C&R and COE applications procedures.

Fed C&R allocation mailed 3/8/17
State LifeScan and COE application mailed 3/9/17

Now I wait ...and wonder... how many C&R guns I will run across during the waiting period to tempt/antagonize me

This is a timely subject. I bought an old Marlin on Gunbroker, mailed my FFL with the money order. I wrote on the FFL to use the mailing address, the post office won't deliver to the premise address. The seller just called me today to say the rifle was returned undeliverable. Duh, that's why I specifically said to use the mailing address.
This was from a gun shop too.
