    Sorry if this has been asked before.

    But let's say you do all the forms and all that. Also, you have nothing on your record that would legally stop you from owning a suppressor. Can you be denied the stamp for the suppressor? I know the paper work has to go through local law enforcement before the ATF, so could they just deny you because they don't want you to have one?

    In some jurisdictions the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) will refuse to sign. If you sent in paperwork for an individual transfer without the signature, ATF would kick it back to you as incomplete. An NFA trust (for the time being) will avoid the CLEO requirement. Keep your eyes on pending rule changes, as ATF may try to change the rules on trusts. Having said that, in Maryland the MSP will sign off on the suppressor form as the CLEO.

    Lots of good info in this thread:http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=4754
