Of course. Like you I still have some of those original 3-part forms and use them whenever I buy or sell something . . . until they are gone!
Thanks, Len. What a relief!

Anyone ever bother to mail a FA-10 by certified mail or with signature conformation?
Was there any sort of letter detailing actions they wanted you to take???
The Liars at CHSB said:available at all local police departments
They are just flat out lying at this point. Sending 10 FA-10s to a PD doesn't mean they're going to be available for very long. Somoene upstairs is obviously pushing this. Would be funny as hell if one of the FA-10 PDFs had some kind of watermark embeded in it that showed it was from the
state, etc. I know someone here found the state one and edited it to make it work better.

I thought it was the other way round, that someone on here made the PDF that the state ended up using?
[SIZE=-1]A friend of mine went to his local PD a few months ago and asked for a few paper FA10 forms in order to comply with the law to report the anticipated acquisition of a non-high cap rifle (a registration, not a transfer).
The PD said they only had a couple of forms left, and gave him one, it was a single page form torn from the top of a "pad" of forms.
My friend informed the PD that he needed more than 1 form and asked when more might be available, they told they didn't know, and told him to just make copies of the form and use the copies, which he did, once he obtained the rifle.
He reported the acquisition within 7 days, in writing, to the DCJIS, on a form provided by the DCJIS, which was obtained from the local PD, following the specific instructions of his local PD in how to use the form they provided.
A few weeks later he received a letter back containing a generic copy of the FA10 rejection letter, along with the returned actual form he had filled out in blue ink. [/SIZE][SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]
He said he would just file it as proof of receipt of notification.
WTF?[/SIZE][/SIZE]
Yeah, actually you're right about that. I think someone from CHSB had snarfed up one one of our members created, and for awhile there was a link on their website to it, then it suddenly disappeared.
why would anyone use the paper FA10 as opposed to electronic FA10?
either way it's abnoxiously annoying and "infringing"....so why use paper vs. web?

Difficulty of reporting transactions online vs paper when you meet somebody in a parking lot.

I don't have a computer.
Besides the legal reasons ("in writing" &c.) and the problems with doing a transfer in a public place, the eFA10 is the fast road to "no personal transfers"
Once "a majority" (as defined by some bureaucrat at CHRB) is using the eFA10 instead of paper, there's no reason to continue printing or accepting any paper versions at all (despite the law). Once that happens only people who have access to technology will be able to legally sell or buy a gun in MA. The entry fee to exercising our rights is already too high, adding on "must have a computer with internet access and a printer" or even "must have a computer that runs XXXX operating system and YYY browser" is unacceptable. Furthermore, it only takes one hardware failure on the computer running the eFA10 website and *nobody* can sell a gun privately. Don't make it easy for them.

I just got a paper form back in the mail with a big "X" through it, with a letter that said I have 7 days to do an E-FA10 or face criminal charges.
Massachusetts is awesome.....
Even in MA, at current, I would love to see them even -try- to do this to someone.
Before October of 2011, this form was available at this URL, and then CHSB/CJIS vaporized the file on their webserver:
