I am not totally sure but I believe that the question you are referring to is applicable only if you are NOT a US citizen; but, you really need to read all the questions in the sections leading to any section carefully. Parts of the application do not apply to all applicants.

REPEAT: You should read the questions VERY, VERY carefully; they can be misleading.

Also, read the instructions at the bottom of the entire form; if you are still unsure of a question use these links to call for help:
Here is a link to a BATF directory in WV: BATF Directory

This is also a useful link: BATF Useful link

And, as a bonus, here is a link to a sample form that helps clarify the application: Sample Application Filled Out.

I did not answer one of the questions correctly. I misinterpreted it. It has taken a month for them to let me know this and that was only after I called them repeatedly for two days.

The BATF has 60 days to adjudicate an application; however, I am not sure when the clock is started. I think it is started from the point at which they have a complete application.

Review your application VERY carefully before sending it.

Learn from my mistake.

I hope you find this post helpful...

Oh, BTW, the C & R application is only a Federal requirement. You must also comply with any state requirements as well; with luck, you may live in a state that has no requirements beyond the Federal ones.
