I thought you needed a federal ATF permit to possess an auto. That used to be the case. Maybe they delegated that down to the states.eCat wrote:to legally get a full auto in Nevada an individual is required to get their Chief Law Enforcement Officer (“CLEO”) to signoff on each Form 1 or Form 4. Some CLEOs take inordinately long to sign off or downright refuse to sign them at all. You must be fingerprinted and photographed as the owner.
But it makes sense that a "CLEO" (probably a police chief) would not sign off on such a permit. What law enforcement leader, in their right mind, would want their signature on the form that facilitated a mass murder like this?
