Will DeWees Sign Off on NFA?

[Pmbspyder]

He's the new CC Sheriff. I'm new to the NFA game and wondering if anyone knows his stance on this. I know the previous Sheriff wouldn't do it.

Searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

He F-ing better!

If he doesn't, I'm sure we can remind him that while MD is largely anti-2A, being anti-2A in Carroll County (where 82% of all voters went with Hogan) is not a great political move. All we'd need to do is post billboards on 140, 27, 30 and 91 saying that DeWees is banning guns in Carroll County

I'm shocked that Tregoning wouldn't sign off on NFA items! I'm not into NFA stuff, so I never had a reason to find out.

 

[bobthefisher]

Actually, Tregoning was signing them when he felt like it, and didn't feel like it when the MSP and ATF were playing their shenanigans over SBR's. Can't blame him for some of it, but he became very grumpy over the matter, and gave some people the cold shoulder. He needs to retire, simple as that.

 

[Pmbspyder]

Thanks for the responses guys! Would love to be able to have the local guy do it as opposed to heading up to pikesville. We shall see!

I called Tregoning's office last month and was told to go to MSP.

Yeah I got a "he won't do it" when I called. I have high hopes for DeWees. Not only am I hoping he signs enthusiastically, but I hope the 6-8 weeks MSP is running is way longer than he will. Sign off on NFA in 2-3 weeks would be awesome (though it would suck for my wallet)

A few years ago when I first dropped off my CLEO letter for my C&R license I requested to drop it off with Tregoning personally. So at least he could put a face to the letter. If you make an appointment there is no reason why the Sheriff can't sign something right then and there. It's Carroll County, not Baltimore City, they should have time.

I'll make it a point to get a From 1 signed off by DeWees, even though I already have an NFA trust. They need to know the 2A community helped get them elected, and that is a small part of their duties. I have no problem with them doing a brief interview and wanting to see the person requesting the form, but to shove it off to MSP is not the principles in which he was elected.

Tregoning signed two for me (SBR and suppressor) about a year apart. I had to meet him in his office in Westminster. We chatted for awhile and he signed and thanked me both times, as I remember. Seemed pretty supportive. January of '11 and August of '11 are the dates on the signatures. Less than a day between initial call and the signature.

I also spoke to DeWees at the National Day Out in Sykesville. We discussed 2A issues, and he was very vocal about his direct opposition to SB281 and support for 2A as a constitutional right. I didn't ask about NFA. Wish I had now that I think about it.

It's all about first impressions. Whoever gets to go first and test the waters, on whether he'll sign NFA forms, make sure to make an appointment, dress fairly nice, and be polite. However, be assertive that it's legal to own these firearms in MD, and how MSP has a shall-issue policy for these kind of weapons, baring the passing of a MD background check. Let him know its within his powers to sign these forms and it's part of the principles in which he was elected.

Absolutely this.

I'm sure I won't be first as I need time to gather pennies, but I look forward to running a form 4 past him for a sparrow eventually.

 

[Pmbspyder]

Btw, when does he officially take office?

 

[jessestone]

He is being sworn in on Tuesday.

Excellent, thanks for the update!

If anyone uses him for signoff, please update us!

 

[Sgt6402]

He needs to get settled in to office and work on his transition.

 

[Russ D]

He's a neighbor and our kids play for the same soccer program. I'll ask him in person next time I see him.

This is excellent, thanks!

Especially with the 3-4 months msp seems to be at these days

 

[Pmbspyder]

Bumping this up as 41P comes down the pike (less than a month). Has anyone determined yet if DeWees will sign?

 

[Nodak Kid]

I would like to now, as well.

 

[FFBWMD]

As far as I know he will. I had to drop off some paperwork there a while back and the desk officer told me he will sign off. Don't know of anyone who has tried yet though.
