Letter from la. Depart. Of public safety / Metairie area

[JADSCOOP]

THIS MY FIRST CLASS III PURCHASE
I filed out the Application To Register Firearm / Louisiana Revised Statues, Title 40, Section 1783. I recievied a letter from the State of Louisiana Department of Safety and Corrections Public Safety Services. It reads that the firearm on the enclosed form has not been transferred to you.
I bought the suppressor from a local dealer on the westbank. I have the stamp from the ATF, and the suppressor at my home. What can I do at this point or is it up to the class III dealer to do everthing for me? Is this normal procedure or not?
Any info on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

When you sent in the application did you include a photocopy of the form 4?

I don't remember sending a copy of my F4 to the state when I sent in my registrations on either of my SBSs...

You are supposed to have the state paperwork finished before the ATF will approve your form 4. Looks like someone at the ATF messed up. I would call the LA state police and ask what you need to fill out. I wouldn't say anything about receiving the stamp yet. The girl over there has always been helpful whenever I have had questions. Her name is Shana Johnson. Phone number is 225-925-4867.

Thank You for all the help. My class III dealer called me in to sign an Application To Register Fiream Louisiana Revesed Statutes, Title 40, Section 1783.I hope this works! That is the same form I filled out that was rejected and started all this. Ms. Johnson was a great help. Are these kind of problems normal? I want to purchase a few more class III weapons and would like to avoid these kind of problems. Could you suggest a class III weapons dealer in Metairie area.
Once again thank you for all the help.

What Lafsnguy said. Atf should not have approved the form 4 without the state form first. My suppressor got delayed two weeks from another state because the out of state dealer did not send in the state form with the form 3. But it's now sitting where I can visit it until the form 4 gets approved.

There are TWO forms. The form to transfer (commonly called the permit) and the form to register. The form to transfer is included with your Form 4 application the the ATF. The form to register comes after you take possession. I can post pics of the two forms in a few minutes.

Pictures of the two forms needed. As you can see, the app to transfer was approved in July. The app to register wasn't approved until December.
