If a firearm’s licensure is under question, who has the power to review its validity?

The power to review the validity of a firearm’s licensure lies with the Registrar or individuals who are authorized in writing by the Registrar. This is because the Registrar is typically the official entity responsible for overseeing the licensing and registration of firearms, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Authorized personnel have been designated by the Registrar to perform specific tasks related to this oversight, which might include reviewing licenses in question.

The local sheriff and other law enforcement officials may have a role in enforcing firearm laws but do not have the authority to review the validity of the licensure directly, as that falls within the purview of the licensing authority. The firearm owner’s spouse does not possess the legal authority to question or review a firearm’s licensure, as such matters require an official or designated review process. Similarly, while the department of motor vehicles handles vehicle registrations, it does not have jurisdiction over firearm licensing, which is managed by specific regulatory bodies.
