However, if one is a FFL holder, one is required by law to report the theft or loss to both local law enforcement and ATF. As part of PL 103-322 (Crime Bill) (9/13/1994), 18 U.S.C. sec 923(g) was amended to require, “(6) Each licensee shall report the theft or loss of a firearm from the licensee’s inventory or collection within 48 hours after the theft or loss is discovered, to the Secretary and to the appropriate local authorities.”

Pretending you live in a jurisdiction where the CLEO will sign, when you do not, may be tempting, but cannot be recommended. ATF has prosecuted for this, claiming that putting a bogus address on the form is submitting false information to the feds, in violation of 26 USC 5861(l). See U.S. v. Muntean, 870 F.Supp 261 (N.D.Ind. 1994), for a case of such a prosecution. While you may have addresses in several places, if you do not think you can make a credible case that you live there (do you sleep there? Have a phone? Utilities?) I think it is unwise to tell ATF you reside there, for purposes of a transfer form.

There are two cases on this issue. The first is Steele v. NFA Branch, 755 F.2d 1410 (11th Cir. 1985), where the 11th circuit federal appeals court said a person trying to transfer a gun to one who was otherwise eligible to own the gun, but could not get the certification from anyone acceptable to ATF, could sue to force the transfer without it. In the case Steele (the transferor in a Form 4 transfer) had not asked everyone acceptable to ATF, as well as not alleged, as part of his case, that the potential transferee was otherwise eligible by law to own the weapon, and the case was disposed of on those grounds. Note that the version of the regulation creating the certification requirement, reproduced in the footnotes of this case, has a different list of acceptable persons. After some were sued in connection with this case, all the federal law enforcement officials were removed from the regulation. Correspondence from ATF indicates they will not designate any federal officials as other acceptable persons either. The Steele decision was followed in the case Westfall v. Miller, 77 F.3d 868 (5th Cir. 1996), in which a transferee, not transferor, sued over non-approval of a Form 4 without the certification. Again Westfall did not ask everyone listed in the regulation. Again his case was thrown out for lack of standing. The court said they could not tell if the reason he couldn’t get the gun was an illegal requirement, the signoff, or his own failure to try and get a signoff.
