03 Renewal Question

[Deleted member 67409]

I used to have a 03 about a decade ago. I let it expire because I wasn't buying guns or shooting for a few years, basically during law shcool. I have since moved and I now want to "renew" my 03. I put renew in quotes because ATF's website indicates that if you let a FFL expire, you complete a Form 7/7CR, rather than a Form 8.

On pages 3-4 of the Form 7/7CR, there's a questionnaire regarding "Responsible Person". The definition of "Responsible Person" is:

In addition to a Sole Proprietor, a Responsible Person is, in the case of a Corporation, Partnership, or Association, any individual possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies, and practices of the Corporation, Partnership, or Association, insofar as they pertain to firearms.

I am applying for the 03 in my individual capacity, not as part of a corp/partnership/association/LLC, etc.

I'm 99% sure the answer is no, but as an individual, do I fill out pages 3-4 as a Responsible Person?

Correct, you are the responsible person. A lot of stuff on those forms is aimed at businesses/corps. even though 03s can't operate as a business. So ignore or "N/A" those areas that aren't appropriate.

I filled it out, personally.

I just sent mine in for a change of address, what I do remember is a note saying "If you're applying for a collectors license, don't fill out the below boxes...."

I'd contact them direct. They were quick to respond to questions I had.

Everything that I have read (what people have done) is to apply for a new C&R after expiration of a previous C&R.

Always let it expire and apply for a new one. You can then throw away your bound book and start over…

I'm about to send my paperwork in for an 03 and I filled it out, I'll let you know if/why they inevitably deny me

Any idea what the processing time is these days?

I mailed mine renewal in the end of December and they charged my card mid January but I haven’t received my license as of yet. My current license expired on the first.

Thanks,

Bob

FYI

I called ATF this Morning (866.662.2750) and they said that they are running about 60 days.

I sent my renewal in they end of December and they said that it was still processing.
