I have a co-worker who is purchasing a pistol from me and does not have a CPL. She went to her police station for a pistol purchase permit (RI-010), but instead of receiving the yellow card stock with printing on both sides, she received a white piece of paper with printing on only one side and nothing anywhere for a notary to sign. It was an RI-010A form which when she called for clarification, they told her that it's application form and that when she returns after purchasing the gun, they'll provide her with the completed yellow form, and notarize it for her.
Does this sound right?
