Again, how can they demand use of a site that is clearly not properly secured?
Using an ssl cert for www.google.com is probably a crime as well.
Where are they using a cert from google? The one I get from their website doesn't say google anywhere.

From the initial e-FA10 page:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to 72.14.204.147, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details
72.14.204.147 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for www.google.com
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
Got a new form today from a buddy. Its dated 1/12. One page.
I think something is up with your computer, where I am mircs.chs.state.ma.us resolves to 92.242.140.1.
This is from an individual object within that page.
Medfield pd has the numbered carbon copy FA10 forms available.
Checked at least 10 stations in my travels yesterday and today and this is the first I have found. All others had the usual go online story.
Got one sent back, said I cannot use the pdf and fill it on a computer, they sent a singlea(non-carbon copy) numbered copy to fill in with a pen.. As long as the signature is in pen then whats the problem? Systems just BS.
How many would they give you?
Went to QPD, they have 1 form left, and told me to go use E-FA10 because they said they tried to order more, but got a notice they shall not be receiving anymore. Suggested to Log onto the site via my phone if I'm doing a FTF transaction and fill it out via my iphone lol. Which could work just fine, but we wont have copies for our records without being at home next to a printer.
Perhaps print copies out as people have been doing for each to have a signed record, and fill it out via Phone if you aren't at wifi access? just a suggestion but I don't know.
I'm still trying to figure out what the deal with the password protected PDF record is about.
So, if we send in the older FA10's and they get returned, they also send the new serialized form that they will accept once it is filled out in pen?
I smell a work around. Buy/sell firearm; fill out old .pdf FA10; mail to FRB; wait for old form to be returned with a new accepted form; fill out in pen; return to FRB in full compliance of the law. Rinse & repeat.

I haven't personally tried the E-FA10, and don;t plan on it. People have been reporting all sorts of problems with the website, I don't think it will work well on a smartphone.
You don't and won't get a password. It is a PIN number, not a password.
If they send one, as Gibbs posted earlier, his friend didnt get one sent to him. Im going to check my PD sometime next week to see if they have any, I never checked before but theyre gun owner friendly so they may have a stock of them.
According to the Director of FRB, paper forms WILL be made available to PDs IF they ask for them. Seems like they revised the form (copyright issues wrt the 3-part form) so that it is only a ONE-part form now, so you better make your own copies before mailing in or you will have no record at all.
Yes, they are trying to push everyone to e-file, but legally I'm not sure that they can offer ONLY that as an alternative.
Do NOT expect any PD to know about these new changes (only announced late last week to a select group of people from what I can determine).
ETA: Yes, you can still use the 3-part forms if you have them/can find them.
