Davidson County CLEO

**willis68** · 10-13-2008, 07:22 PM

Is anyone on here familiar with the Cleo's in Nashville, who I would need to get my NFA paperwork signed by?

Thanks

Chief of Police (currently Ronal Serpas) is the CLEO in Nashville. Its not the Sheriff like in most of TN.

Do you know if he is gun friendly to law abiding taxpayers?

I do and he is NOT. That does not mean he won't sign, but I would try other avenues.

I don't have any personal experience with him. From what I've heard, he will sign your Form 4 -- at least for suppressors. If you're looking for full-auto or DD, I dunno. "He's not from around here" so I wouldn't expect him to be super gun-friendly. Hopefully, I'm wrong about that!

I looked into getting a can a little while back. I'm still waiting to clear up some funds to make it happen.

Short barrel shotgun first form 4, and if it is still legal (after the elections) I will SBS my PS90, then get a can to fit both my AR15 and PS90, I will go see him when my paperwork arrives, at worse case he will say no,

I don't know his personal views, but in the last couple of years Serpas has signed 3 Form 1's for me. Quick turnaround, no problems. TN has a law that requires him to sign if you're a law abiding citizen.

You can also get your fingerprint cards completed down the hall from his office for a small fee.

I usually received them in the mail in about a week.

I dropped them off with his admin assistant all filled out in duplicate. The only info required is his signature, title, & address. I also leave a stamped self-addressed envelope with the forms. He signs the forms and his admin assistant drops them in the mail to me. Alternately you could go back and pick them up I guess. The mail worked fine for me and unless you work downtown it's a pain going to his office.
