Wren I've got mixed messages on this issue now, DOL says they cannot do it, Senator Morton emailed me and told me to contact my sheriff, sheriff's office said they were aware of the problem and they can do the paperwork.

I'm going to go to the Sheriff's office and give it a try, from the way it has been described, the DOL is not allowed access to background checks, but the sheriff is allowed to do the check and then contact the DOL..

Confusing, but I'll be the guinea pig on this.. hopefully my $79 will not be wasted...
