    FFL renewals require the licensee to submit a copy of their application to their local chief law enforcement officer. For most of us that means the Chief of Police. I always make two copies of my applications; one with the check for my records and one of just the form as the information copy to the Police Chief. Mailed both last week and took off hunting. Dug all the junk mail from the mailbox Sunday to find a very nicely hand printed envelope with the City’s logo. Could not begin to guess why anyone at the City would hand address anything to me. Inside, I found this sticky note attached to my information copy of my renewal application. A+ for penmanship; A+ for courtesy; F for job performance. Bless her heart, I hope she’s pretty because that’s going to be all she has going for her.

    The Chief’s regular secretary was back from vacation today and we got this straightened out. Don’t need BATFE accidentally checking that I followed instructions and being told there was nothing on file.

    Isn’t your Chief Law Enforcement Officer your County Sheriff ? Or, D.A. ?
    I’m about 200 feet inside the city limits, so my CLEO is the police chief. Until I was annexed my notification copies went to the Sheriff. It might be different in Louisiana, many things are similar but different under Napoleonic law. Those differences get Texans in trouble now and then.

    Gee, I spent half my life in good-size Teas Cities, and my Cjief LEO always was the County Sheriff.

    Had zero to do with Napoleonic Law.

    There are significant differences, but this is not one of them.

    Ok then. I appear to be wrong. Good thing I have a spare copy to send to the sheriff. I sure don’t need the SWAT team kicking down my door over a technicality.

    Helotes!
    Technically, all it says is it needs to go to the CLEO. You've done that. Nothing says they have to do anything, or even acknowledge it.

    In all my 03 renewals, not once have I ever heard back from BCSO; nor do I want to!

    The irony is I am a volunteer with the SAPD, but I cannot drop this form off at the Chief's office as I live about a 1/4 mile outside the city limits and his jurisdiction!
