You have to give or send them a copy. The way I read it that means I could do it electronically so I scanned mine and emailed the photocopy to my CLEO. I do not advise you do this without calling and asking the Baltimore field office of the ATF first though.
To the resident C&R expert:
I have two homes: one in MD and one in WV. The one in WV will be changed to my primary resident address and MD would become my secondary address.
Question: According to the ATF, if I understood properly, the address I use on my C&R (currently MD) is the address that is my "receiving address" and the firearms must be stored there. If I did a change of address , so that WV is the "receiving address," then I would have to move my C&R firearms to WV. Also, I'd have to order C&R firearms from other states (interstate) to receive in WV. But, after the address change, could I therefore buy C&R in MD and receive in WV - having a home in MD?
I get the impression that ATF doesn't care what home is you primary one (emphsis added), they just want to know where you are receiving the C&R and that it is the same address that is on my license. How would you handle this? Any suggestions?
One thing I could do (more costly), is leave my existing MD C&R alone and continue to renew it when due. At the same time I could submit a new C&R application to be able to buy C&R from my WV address. In other words, I'd have 2 C&R "receiving locations (two licenses). My understanding is that one can have a C&R license for more than one location. Bottom line, I could order C&R firearms from either state that I am currently staying in. This isn't really my question, but coud I order fron WV, when in MD, and order from MD when in WV?
What would be your best solution, if you lived in two states?
I have to make sure it is a legal answer to the situation.
Thanks for any help provided.
Bringing this thread back from the dead once again. Well my dreams of moving to Va have been crushed and I'll be moving to another place closeby. So now I have to do a change of address for my c&r license, I just printed the form out. So from what I gathered I need to do the following:
1. Fill out form
2. Attach lease( do I have to attach the whole lease or just the 1st page? Or do I even need to attach a lease at all.)
3. Send to ATF( do I have to turn in my old c&r license?)
4. Send to CLEO( I forgot who's the CLEO for MoCo?, please remind me. Do I send them lease too?)
5. Wait patiently.... Again
I guess its kind of a good thing, I can let my wallet take a rest for a while. With my luck a bunch of sales will pop up. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
