Another 03-FFL & COE thread

[CaliGunOwner_Mike]

Hi! I applied for my COE and received it within about 30 days of the livescan. On May 11th, I filled out my 03 FFL form and sent a copy to my CLEO (chief of police for my city) and the ATF. A friend of mine sent his FFL out a week after mine and got his 03 FFL in less then two months. Is it possible that my Chief of Police if holding up my FFL even though I have the cleanest background? I was going to give him and the ATF a call to try and understand whats holding up my application. Any thoughts??

Just got my FFL03, still waiting (and waiting...) for my COE. To do it right really means spending about a hundred hours studying the nuances of all the applicable federal and state laws. Basically, you can buy c&r long guns from anyone, you can sell c&r long guns to other FFLs, and you can get ammo shipped to your door. There are seveal exceptions and some additions, but that's my summary of it. If that sounds interesting to you go for it. Otherwise I'd say it's a waste of time.
No UPS Store for firearms, but there's a UPS center near you in Compton. I'm not sure about their rules for ammo.

Any word on you COE?

Took about 5 weeks, but it did come through.

I submitted mine on the 9th, DOJ got back to me today...to tell me it was incomplete. I forgot to attach a photo of my ID. Doh!

I got the same notification, however, I don't recall it asking for my ID copy when I submitted the initial application.

I also get an error when I click on my current COE that is in progress.

Am I missing something?

I finally got my FFL03 and COE, however I am finding it to be rather useless. I can't seem to find any online vendors that would ship ammo straight to my door. Even LAX ammo won't do it until further notice.

I had got the same message when applying.

When you log on and click on COE transactions on the top left corner. Then click on "COE number" in your transaction (it'll say NONE). Scroll down to where you see "File upload section". There you can upload your DL.

Hope this helps.

The instructions are poor at best. They don't actually tell say that you must upload a copy of your CA DL when you select that option.

Like you and many others here, I got the notice that my application was "incomplete".

Thanks for the advice everyone, really appreciate it. Seems that I was not the only one who had trouble with this one.

Unfortunately, I get an error message when I click on the "[NONE]" link, so I am not able to upload my DL. I have reported the error, but who knows how long that will take to get resolved.

Try a different web browser.

Batfe already processed my FFL03 and I'm waiting for it to come in. My coe.has been processing for 30.days. any idea how long that's going to take?

Do they e-mail you when it's processed or did u call them?

No kidding, are you using a speak in spell??
You are also exempt to 1in30, AB879 and can acquire ammo out of state, C&Rs out of state and bring them in yourself.
Is swear, maybe we should have an intelligence test for firearms.
