My Sheriff flat out refused to sign.

Ridge_Runner_5,
If I were you, I would write a polite letter to the sheriff that refused the signature and explain that you can use a trust to own the silencer and obtain ATF approval without his signature. Also explain that if he signs the ATF forms, he will know who owns silencers in his jurisdiction. But if he refuses to sign, the gun owners in his county will use a trust or Corp. to own their silencers and he will have to remain ignorant of who owns them. It is up to him.
You might also ask why he refuses to sign. Ask him if there is a silencer crime problem in the county. When we got a new sheriff in my county in WA, I wrote a nice letter explaining my hobby (I make them) and mailed it in along with three ATF form 1's for his signature and a self addressed stamped envelope. He signed all of the forms and send a note thanking me for jumping through all the hoops.
I use a trust now. Much easier.
