This bill provides requirements for law enforcement officials to certify federal firearm transfers within a certain time.
This bill:
. requires law enforcement officers or other eligible officials to certify certain federal firearm transfers;
. provides that the certification is granted only for firearm transfer applicants not prohibited by law;
. specifies a time period within which the law enforcement officer shall certify and return the form to the applicant; and
. if the certification is denied, provide the reasons in writing to the applicant within a specified time period.
I like this! Keep in mind folks, this is for NFA transfers. Suppressors, SBR, SBS, etc.

36 law from possessing a firearm or firearm accessory as defined in Section 53-5b-103 ; and

43 (b) if the applicant is denied, provide to the applicant the reasons for denial in writing

I've not heard of any counties, the only one I could imagine that would even question this might be Salt Lake, but there are police chiefs in individual cities that sometimes won't.
Well if you live in Salt Lake County, then it's Nick Roberts who signs for Jim Winder, at least for the two I've done. 2 to 3 day turn around.
