To paraphrase Tom Jones, "It's not unusual" for the govt. to prepare forms at the same time as proposing rule changes. However, at the 13th Annual Firearms Import/Export Conference in August 2014, ATF Counsel Andrew Lang stated that ATF is currently on track to make a decision on 41P by January 2015. However, he acknowledged that many of the comments filed by attorneys raised some issues that ATF had not considered. (Which, IMHO, is what happens when you draft rule changes without actually looking at the law.)

I've said it before, it's not time to panic, but I suggest anyone who lives in a parish where the CLEO won't sign off on your Form 1 or Form 4 to go ahead and get what they want now (especially in light of the new changes to the law pertaining to hunting with suppressors).

bumping this to see if anyone has heard of any new news? I also have a question. If you have form 4's in pending status wouldn't they be grandfathered in under the new rules?

No new news. The ATF is still saying a decision by January 2015. I have yet to receive a reply to my objection, though.

A year ago, ATF said that anything pending at the time of any rule change would be processed under the old rules.
