I guess I have always picked the county police for the CLEO; is there any reason to use the Sherriff or MSP instead?
Is One CLEO Better than the Other for ATF Form 5320.23?

It depends...when it comes to Class 3 firearms the MSP has declared themselves to the be the CLEO. Locally for a FFL it might be a Chief of Police if you're within an incorporated city...otherwise I would think the Sheriff but some County Police may declare themselves as the anointed ones. You're going to have to ask the local law enforcement agencies for an answer.
It could well be a county-by-county thing...Maryland isn't gonna be helpful regardless.

AND - just in case anyone wants the CLEO contact info for MSP:

Maryland State Police

Does this also apply to a C&R application? Sheriff or County Police? Does it matter much?

Ah, guess I should've read the definitions on the application:
Chief Law Enforcement Officer - The Chief of Police, Sheriff, or an equivalent designee of such individual, of the locality in which the premises
sought to be licensed, is located.
Looks like it's either/or.

Throw bread on me
C&R I've always sent to the county chief or sheriff
I questioned in another thread who the CLEO is for Class 3 items now that the procedure has switched from approval to advisory. Does MSP care anymore?

Thanks
Does the Sheriff or County Police care for that matter?
Also consistent with what MexicanBob posted.

I doubt it. It seems to be just a polite notification.
Unless they know you to be an evil SOB, and want to talk to ATF about you, or if there's some local ordinance that would make licensure illegal (just guessing here, never heard of either scenario in real life), there's no reason for them not to chuck it in the circular file.
I've heard of CLEO's refusing to accept a letter. I don't think it matters, the onus is upon you to attempt to notify.

Probably not, the Queen Anne's Sheriff at least sends a form letter response so you know they actually received it.
