Cumberland County Sheriff no longer signing
I spoke with Thomas Kline, Cumberland County Sheriff, today about signing for a MG. He informed me that during a recent meeting of the Chiefs of Police that signing ATF transfer paperwork was discussed. Many county CLEO sign no problem, some do on special cases and others do not at all. Based on the many responses, the Cumberland County DA, David Freed, has instructed Sheriff Kline to refer all signature requests to the local police of the requestors residence or the PSP. A letter is being prepared by the DA to inform all of the local PD's and the PSP. However, I have already spoken to the PSP and they will not sign. They directed me to the Sheriff. Sheriff Kline is a great CLEO and his office always treated me with professionalism and respect. I am very disappointed to find this out and if you are awaiting a signature, you will be notified in the coming weeks.
I guess I have to use my Corp. for new items.

Re: Cumberland County Sheriff no longer signing
He is also ignorant of the law and refuses to talk about being corrected on it:

Re: Cumberland County Sheriff no longer signing
What part of the NFA law is he ignorant of? I never had such a problem with Sherrif Kline. I explained what I wanted to do, gave him time to evaluate my request and he signed four tranfers for me. No problem. I believe it's all in how you approach the CLEO's, but I realize that some just won't budge.

Re: Cumberland County Sheriff no longer signing
Where did the DA get the authority to make the Sheriff refer sign-off's to PSP or Police Chief's?
The Sheriff doesn't answer to the DA, neither do the police for that matter. Its a good thing I'm not Sheriff there, because I would have told that DA where to shove it.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Re: Cumberland County Sheriff no longer signing
My understanding from communicating with the Sherrif is that he and the DA have some sort of understanding that they will consult with each other on situations like NFA paperwork. It may be politically motivated, I will never know for sure. Maybe the Sheriff just doesn't want the hassle or these NFA weapons bring too much attention. Either way I have more leg work to do to get the weapons. I don't think PSP will even consider signing.
