Re: Critical legislation for 2015

My "Other" 2015 item is requiring CLEOs to sign BATFE paperwork in a timely fashion, at least for CHL holders.

Explanation:
Suppressors, Short Barreled Rifles, and Full Auto firearms are legal in Texas. To purchase as an individual the BATFE requires a signature from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) in your county. In Harris county (and others) regular folks like me can't get the signature. So, we set up a NFA Revocable Trust. Trusts don't require sign off's from the CLEO, or annual paperwork to the government. Last fall the BATFE began the process to require the sign off for each person listed in the trust. The process is stalled for now but I expect them to try again later. Other States have passed legislation to require the CLEOs to sign off. I'd like to see Texas require the sign offs, as well.

I don't have the money to buy a Full Auto firearm or a place to shoot one. But, keeping the noise down, just seems polite.
