My take is that all 6 docs are required.
Does that pass the sanity check?
As the email says, these guidelines are “preliminary” - meaning they could change but yes, they’re wanting all new, “fresh” documentation from everyone. There was some speculation on the CMP forum, this is because they [CMP] want to insure no pistols are sent out to FFLs and then the sale doesn’t go thru to completion (for whatever reason). IOW, they don’t want to have to deal with returns with this lottery-type system.
Looks like you have everything covered with the possible exception of 3.3. Some people think this is a “new requirement” but it’s not - it’s been around forever. I’d like to see CMP clarify what will be acceptable to them (maybe this will get answered on FB). They used to want “proof” - like a scorecard from a CMP sanctioned shoot - didn’t matter how you scored, just that you participated. I think on other occasions, they’ve accepted DD214s (not sure about LTCs being acceptable). Also, if they keep this rule the same as they use for M1 Garand purchases, if your’re sixty or older, you won’t have to meet the 3.3 requirement. But again, they need to clarify if this will still apply for the 1911 purchase program.
