This certification is not really a big deal for the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) making it, and it DOES NOT expressly make the CLEO legally responsible for the weapon or your use of it, or its theft. I have not heard of any successful case against a CLEO for signing the certification for a gun that was criminally misused. That is, in my opinion, a spurious excuse for not signing. There is even a case addressing this issue, Searcy v. City of Dayton, 38 F.3d 282 (6th Cir. 1994). The estate of a drug dealer murdered by an off duty Dayton, Ohio, police officer with his personally owned “Mac-11″ machine gun sued the city that employed the cop. One of the grounds for suit was the police chief’s having signed the transfer paperwork for the murder weapon. The court held that that claim should have been dismissed by the trial court; without a showing that somehow the act of signing was negligent, (under Ohio law) and led to the harm (murder) complained of, there was no cause of action. Signing the form was not negligent in itself, nor was it a reckless or wanton act, as the trial court claimed the plaintiff could try to prove at trial. Although this case is only directly binding on the area of the 6th circuit, and need not bind state courts, the court recognized what common sense, and the certification say, the person signing does not open himself up to any liability by doing so.

NFA weapons are: machine guns, sound suppressors (a.k.a. silencers), short barreled shotguns, short barreled rifles, destructive devices and “any other weapons”. A machine gun is any gun that can fire more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger, or a receiver of a machine gun, or a combination of parts for assembling a machine gun, or a part or set of parts for converting a gun into a machine gun. A silencer is any device for muffling the gunshot of a portable firearm, or any part exclusively designed or intended for such a device (see discussion below). A short barreled shotgun is any shotgun (shoulder fired, smooth bore) with a barrel of less than 18″ or an overall length of less than 26″, or any weapon made from a shotgun falling into the same length parameters. A short barreled rifle is a rifle (shoulder fired, rifled bore) with a barrel length of less than 16″, or an overall length of less than 26″, or any weapon made from a rifle falling into the same length parameters (like a pistol made from a rifle). In measuring barrel length you do it from the closed breech to the muzzle, see 27 CFR sec. 179.11. To measure overall length do so along, “the distance between the extreme ends of the weapon measured along a line parallel to the center line of the bore.” 27 CFR sec. 179.11. On a folding stock weapon you measure with the stock extended, provided the stock is not readily detachable, and the weapon is meant to be fired from the shoulder. A destructive device (DD) is a explosive, incendiary or poison gas weapon, or any firearm with a bore over 1/2″, with exceptions for sporting shotguns, among other things (see discussion below). Any other weapons (AOW’s) are a number of things; smooth bore pistols, any pistol with more than one grip,(but see below) gadget type guns (cane gun, pen gun) and shoulder fired weapons with both rifled and smooth bore barrels between 12″ and 18″, that must be manually reloaded (see discussion below). These definitions are simplified, to see if a specific gun is a title 1 or 2 firearm one needs to refer to the specific definition under the statute(s), and possibly consult with the Technology Branch of ATF. There is also case law on the issue of whether a specific item falls into one of these categories.

Step 2: Copy the refusal letters, and send the copies to the NFA Branch of ATF. Ask them to designate other persons whose signature would be acceptable, as the ones listed in the regulation would not sign. They are required to do this by the same regulation, it is the safety valve for when none of the designated persons will sign. ATF will almost certainly say that they will accept the certification of a state judge who has jurisdiction over where you live (same as the chief, D.A. and sheriff in step 1, they have to have jurisdiction over where you live) and who is a judge of a court of general jurisdiction, that is a trial court that can (by law) hear any civil or criminal case. No limit as to dollar amount in civil cases, or type of crime in criminal cases. No small claims court or traffic court type judges, in other words. Let’s assume they refuse.

While the statute calls these devices “silencers” or “mufflers”, the US NFA industry term is “sound suppressor”, as the word silencer has been given a negative connotation, and because it is inaccurate, as these devices do not eliminate all sound from firing a gun. However you can point the folks who get all high and mighty about the use of the word “silencer” to this definition; it is the legal term.

One of the most popular automatic rifle designs to date, the M16 began life as the AR15 (Armalite Rifle) at the Armalite Division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation, designed by Eugene Stoner, Robert Fremont and James Sullivan. The AR15 / M16 is actually the product of a scaled-down redesign of another Armalite rifle, the AR-10, a rifle designed during the mid-1950s to fire the full-power 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. At the time, the AR-10 was unique in that was partially constructed of lightweight materials such as aluminum forgings and synthetic materials, which reduced weight substantially. The USAF-sponsored "Project SALVO" opened the doors for a lightweight rifle of .22 caliber and low recoil, designed to increase the effectiveness of automatic fire. The AR-10 was then scaled down to accept a new cartridge, tentatively titled the .222 Special, and eventually sold commercially as the .223 Remington. The cartridge was classified as the 5.56×45mm M193 by the military. Resistance to this small-caliber concept from certain military elements and government entities led Armalite to sell rights to the AR-10 / AR15 design to Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in 1959. Colt aggressively marketed the AR15 to militaries (as well as commercially), winning sizable US contracts which found the rifles type-classified as the M16 by the US Army. The rifles were then shipped to a small but growing conflict in Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, problems arose with the M16. Congressional inquiry into the matter found that the problems were due in large part to Army mismanagement (lack of training, incomplete testing of components prior to issue). With the addition of a slightly heavier barrel, a new flash suppressor, and a forward bolt assist, the rifle was officially adopted by the US Army in 1967 as the M16A1. Problems with the rifle quickly dissolved. Also during this time, an experimental, shortened version of the rifle, called the CAR-15, was put to use by special forces elements, nick-named the "commando". Slight revisions landed it a type classification of XM177. During the late part of the Vietnam War and into the late 1970s, NATO countries saw which way the wind was blowing and put some effort into developing other rifles and cartridges to improve the effectiveness of the 5.56×45mm cartridge. Fabrique Nationale developed a new bullet for the cartridge, designated internally as the SS109. This bullet led to the acceptance of the 5.56×45mm cartridge by NATO. The M16 was redesigned once again to maximize reliability for the new NATO cartridge (US M855), along with some improvements to the rifle, namely a heavier barrel, a new flash suppressor/compensator, and a new dual-aperture adjustable rear sight that represents a vast improvement over previous versions. The rifle was also restricted to three-round bursts instead of full-automatic fire in the interest of ammunition conservation. The rifle was officially type-classified as the M16A2 in 1982. Several military elements had expressed interest in a version of the M16A2 for urban combat, somewhere in size between the M16A2 and the XM177 Commando. Colt developed the M4 Carbine, with a 14.5" (368mm) barrel, step-cut to accept the M203 grenade launcher. By 1994, the M4, along with a full-automatic version of the M16A2 that included an integrated M1913 Picatinny Rail optics-mounting platform (M16A3), were also type-classified. Colt also shortened the M4 barrel another three inches and now markets the resulting carbine as the M4 Commando, a progression of the original XM177. Development progressed with the M16 series rifles in the form of the SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modifications) program from the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana. This program involves the addition of several aftermarket available parts and accessories for the M4A1 Carbine, maximizing effectiveness for special operations. This includes two sub-categories of the rifle, including the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR), an urban sniper platform, and the Close Quarters Battle Receiver (CQBR), yet another progression of the "commando" carbine. There are now countless variations of the AR15 / M16 design, manufactured and sold by literally dozens of companies including Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt, Diemaco, DPMS, Fabrique Nationale, Les Baer Custom, Olympic Arms, Rock River Arms, Wilson Combat, and countless assembly companies. The M16 rifle is supported by a vast industry providing aftermarket parts, optics, and other accessories. This massive level of support suggests that the AR15 / M16 rifle is here for the forseeable future.

Fulton Armory Enhanced M14 SOCOM Systems “…In keeping with the custom nature of the MCS, we contacted Fulton Armory to determine if they had any interest in producing a Modular Combat Rifle incorporating the Troy MCS. The result is the Fulton Armory/Troy Industries Modular Combat Rifle (MCR). Clint McKee, owner of Fulton Armory, is a very though minded individual whose standards for his products are incredibly high and uncompromising. When we made our proposal, Clint stated that he would reserve judgment until he saw Troy’s MCS. Clint refuses to use anything but original GI or MILSPEC components in Fulton Armory M14s, M1 Garands, or M1 Carbines and while Fulton Armory rifles cost more than others, theirs are as close as possible to an original military rifle, so when we shipped the Troy MCS to Clint, we were a little apprehensive and weren’t prepared for his overwhelmingly positive reaction. Within a week, we had our Fulton Armory/Troy Industries Modular Combat Rifle and if it isn’t the ultimate M14, we don’t know what is! “…Shooting is the acid test, and the Fulton Armory/Troy MCR lives up to its claims. Felt recoil was notably less than we are used to on a standard configuration M14/M1As. The MCS stock minimizes muzzle rise and felt recoil while enhancing control and capability for quick follow up shots. The two stage trigger is match quality and as we are fond of saying about really good triggers, breaks like the proverbial “glass rod” without creep or backlash at precisely 4.5 pounds. The Fulton Armory/Troy MCR functioned flawlessly, with shells ejected almost straight out from the receiver at a downward angle. “…Fulton Armory and Troy Industries have truly redefined the concept of a modular M14 for military, law enforcement tactical teams or anyone who wishes to own what is probably the ultimate all-around M14/M1A rifle for defense or just fun shooting. The Fulton Armory/Troy Industries Modular Combat Rifle has everything a tactical M14 user could ask – superb quality, accuracy, flexibility, ballistics and for law enforcement, tactical utility.”
