The CLEO signature is basically a COA (cover our a$$es) by BATFE, just in case they don't know about some recent change in the local or state law. State law changes are usually well known in the LEO community, but an ordinance approved by the city council last night will not be.
While some CLEOs treat the signature as "giving permission", it really only says there is no legal reason not to issue the license or tax stamp. I don't know of any CLEO who will furnish a copy of the law or give any advice to an applicant, they will just approve or disapprove.
