The ATF has begun returning trust Form1s with the note that the ENTIRE trust name must be engraved. Name your trust John Michael Doe Revocable Living Trust? You have to engrave exactly that on your gun.
Thats not mine, but they're running about 3 months.
I turned in two Form1s to the MSP for CLEO signature in November and they're still not signed, so it'll probably be 4+ months before I can make them. Next time I'm going to shop for a signature, maybe the Sheriff will sign...
Why not got the way of the trust? I have read some of your thoughts on this, but looks like folks now are taking their time proccesing or are very backed up. All the more reson to cut out the middle men.
Because I'd rather wait the time than deal with the hassles of the trust, plus I must disclose all legal entities I have any form of ownership, stock or interest in to my employer. (they do not care about individual firearms)
