I am a student in Kansas, but my license/car is still registered under my mom’s address in Missouri as my permanent address, as is the norm for students studying out of state.

I wish to fill out an 03 FFL for Curios and Relics so I can pick up a few milsurp guns to plink with on weekends. Nothing illegal about owning and storing them where I currently live.

However, under what address do I fill out the FFL? My current apartment address in Kansas or my permanent address in Missouri? I assume that if I have to fill out my form under Missouri, that I’ll have to have everything shipped to my moms place and then just make a trip to her place to pick it up?

Also, who exactly is the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" that I have to give a copy of the FFL to? Local sheriff?

Thanks for any input!

Be sure to read the comments, you will find more information about FFL Licence

Part of getting a FFL is this….

the applicant has sent or delivered a form to the chief law enforcement officer where the premises are located notifying the officer that the applicant intends to apply for a license.

— In my case this would be the County Sheriff. Should I just send a copy of the completed ATF application by certified mail; "attention: (my sheriff’s name here)"

I would think that would cover the bases….. but what proof would I have that it was done, if there are problems later?
