Suppressor purchase question

[cms1528]

Was it ever or is it currently a requirement to have your local jurisdiction Sheriff, Chief of Police sign off on your ATF application regarding the purchase of a suppressor.

I thought years ago it was required for a machine gun or short barrel rifle purchase but not certain about suppressors.

You need to notify them, but don't need their approval.

One needs to notify their local sheriff if they purchase a suppressor? I never heard that before. what state or jurisdiction is that required?

It's Federal. Same thing when you apply for an 03FFL. The Sheriff doesn't need to do anything but you have to notify them.

It used to be every state(AFAIK). That requirement ended back when the atf changed to photos and fingerprints.

In MD you can just notify the state police or your county police.

Ok thanks all for the clarification. I ask as I was considering making a purchase of a silencer or two through a Texas company that handles everything start to finish. Capital Armory.

Does Silencer Shop do this for buyers?

SS has dealers across the country. Some have the kiosk and some don’t. I used the kiosk at united for $20. Once you’ve set up your account the only thing to do from there is update your picture with your phone when needed. You buy the can and it gets shipped to your local dealer. Everything is done online then pick up at the dealer when the stamp arrives. Way easier than it used to be and the wait is dropping.

I purchased mine through Silencer Central and they make the notification in MD.

They do it all. The process couldn't be easier.

Capital Armory will also set up a trust for I think $75. Don’t hold me to that number.
