FFL Renewal denied?

[DarkRose]

Ok, so I got my FFL renewal back and was denied on two counts...

One was a question I completely misread, and saw "permitted" instead of prohibited... So thats on me.

The other was I didn't submit a copy to my CLEO, and wrote "N/A" in that spot. Since it was a Curio & Relic (07 FFL?) I didn't have to submit anything or notify the CLEO when I got it in the first place, I assumed I wouldn't when I renewed... Has something changed?

What will I need to do to correct the question I answered wrong?

I'm going to call the number on the letter later today when I get up before work, but in case I'm put on hold for a ridiculous amount of time and have to head to work, just wondering how to correct things.

Thanks!

Nothing has changed. You were supposed to send a copy to your CLEO when you got it. That's been on there for at least the last 7-8 years (when I got my first one... probably before that, too, but I can't attest to that.)

So... Sorry, man, but this one's all on you.

Best advice I can give you is to reapply and read more carefully. I'm trying not to sound like a d**k here... that's just the best advice I can offer.

Blessings,
Bill

Bill is right. You need to send a letter along with a photocopy of the app to your CLEO.

And as for reading - READ AND RE-READ. It's easy to miss something*.

Yes I submitted a copy of the FFL after I received it to the CLEO, but I don't remember having to send the CLEO a copy of the application itself... I believe I also had a re-submit a copy of my actual FFL when I did my address change as well.

And yeah, I try to read carefully because I know the wording is a bit tricky sometimes, that one just got by me.

Since it was a Curio & Relic (07 FFL?)

07 FFLs are manufacturing FFLs. 03 is a C&R.

Copy of C&R application has to go to CLEO.

Welcome to the world of bureaucracy.

BATFE has got to go. An entire organization exists to ensure law abiding citizens are harrassed and harangued and beguiled. The whole concept of "it's illegal, let's make more laws making it more illegal" is insanely stupid.

First of all what are you renewing? A 01 or 03 FFL license? Your message leaves me with the flavor that you are mad/pissed and just typed away. It will all get worked out over time.

It happens, man. PITA, but hopefully easily resolved. Would have been in previous administrations. This one? Who knows? Hope it works out both well and quickly for you.

No, I was just wondering how to go about fixing it, in case I couldn't get ahold of anyone at the number on the letter I was sent (and I didn't, it went to voicemail)

I didn't know if I needed to correct my existing renewal application (it was sent back), and how to "officially" correct it, or if I had to fill out a whole new one. It says the renewal is still active for 30 days. I know some places don't allow corrections, some allow corrections if dated and initialed, etc.

It's an 03 Curio & Relic FFL. (Not sure why I thought it was an 07...)

And I really didn't remember having to submit a copy of the app when I first got it, I thought I just submitted a copy of the FFL itself, for an 03. I know and 01/Dealer FFL has to have the app submitted, and there were a lot of exceptions and blanks to skip if it was just a C&R...

Going to try to call again tomorrow.
