    Suppressors Can u purchase an existing trust?

    I agree it's reportable, but the question is whether a new CLEO sign-off is required for such personnel changes. I don't think it is.

    Suppressors Can u purchase an existing trust?

    A trust is a legal entity and it, not the trustees, owns the NFA items. The CLEO sign-off is only required when forming the trust and acquiring an NFA item. It would not be required, as I understand it, simply for a change of trustees. They just want fingerprints and photos of all trustees, past...

    Suppressors Can u purchase an existing trust?

    I'm thinking that a trust, being a legal entity, can be located anywhere, like a corporation. Many corporations are located in Delaware for example. In theory the trust address can be in a state with liberal NFA laws, so long as the state involved allows such trusts to be formed on behalf of a...

    Ear plugs, electronic?

    I'm using Etymotic EB-15LE electronic high-fidelity earplugs. Etymotic makes many different kinds, specializing in earplugs for musicians that provide accurate sound reproduction. They branched out into LE and military hearing protection by modifying their musician's line specifically for...

    Suppressors Travel With Suppressor

    True. The other thing to remember is to NEVER, EVER grant them permission to search your vehicle. They will try to talk you into it, but you can just respectfully decline to give them permission. Here's why they ask: If you GIVE them permission to search, then they can search EVERYTHING in the...

    Suppressors gun trust news

    Well, I didn't say that EVERY federal officer is a rule-bound martinet. But they can be. The Forest Supervisor in Boulder County was as anti-gun as they get and her people were routinely hostile to anyone with a gun. On the other hand, the folks on the Grand Mesa NF were uniformly friendly...

    Suppressors Travel With Suppressor

    Well, except perhaps for New Jersey, which doesn't seem to have any compunctions about violating Volkmer-McClure on a regular basis by arresting people who get stuck in a layover and have to claim their "illegal" firearms and spend the night in a motel...or even some drivers. New Jersey cops...

    Suppressors Too Late For a Trust Owned Suppressor?

    If Frank doesn't like it, he knows where to get in touch with me and tell me so. If we can't talk about political threats to our industry and interests here, something is really, really wrong.

    Suppressors Too Late For a Trust Owned Suppressor?

    Grew up there from a sprout and watched the whole thing go down the Marxist drain one cut at a time. It's not called "The People's Republic of Boulder" for nothing. Bob Brown, the Publisher of SOF Magazine still lives there. I think he delights in raising the blood pressure of the liberal...

    Suppressors gun trust news

    It doesn't. But it DOES have the authority to demand that any new members who have access to NFA items undergo a background check because THEY enforce the NFA. And if a new member has a felony record it's certainly possible for them to deny an application. Whether they can revoke an existing tax...

    Suppressors gun trust news

    Except that it's illegal in many, if not most states to possess an NFA item under state law. They are usually classified as "dangerous weapons" or some such. The exemption that allows us to have NFA items is most often language that says "unless properly licensed" which is interpreted to mean...

    Well, it IS completely political so what's the problem?

    Suppressors Too Late For a Trust Owned Suppressor?

    Incorrect. This is a "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" and it's an administrative act by the BATFE that does NOT require Congressional approval. BATFE already has wide latitude to make rules to implement the NFA and this does not make any fundamental changes in the eyes of the administration. It's...

    Suppressors gun trust news

    No, it wouldn't be impossible to enforce, any more than the current regs are. If you change trustees, the proposed rule requires the new trustee to submit a form with fingerprints and photos within 30 days. If a trustee doesn't, then the trust is breaking the law and the "responsible person" (or...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    I think it's a multi-pronged revision. Yes, the feds want a "responsible person" assigned to each NFA item held by a corporation or trust and they currently want all principles of corporations and all trustees to go through a background check, specifically the "enhanced" one with fingerprints...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    Why would they have to do that? It's already the case that if you have a corporation that owns NFA items that any not otherwise disqualified employee can handle the NFA items under the direction and supervision of the corporation, so at the moment there is NO background check at all on such...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    Because they are. Yes, they shouldn't be, but that is an entirely different campaign. The thing most people think might be achievable with respect to suppresors is to allow immediate possession of the can while the paperwork is pending, but that's a hard sell. We need to focus on what's...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    My idea, which is based on achievable practicality, is that the NFA registration would go on as per normal, but instead of photos and fingerprings and CLEO sign-offs, applicants would merely be run through the NICS system. If they pass, the registration is processed. In the case of a corporation...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    That's an interesting analysis. It depends on how the regulation is worded. Will it be worded as an ongoing requirement any time any person who can be "in control" of the NFA items (including employees) must pass the NFA background check, or is it only ongoing if the principles, trustees or...

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    Get your letters ready today! I agree. Remember, the NFA register is a TAX DOCUMENT, not a "gun registry." As a tax document it's distribution needs to be restricted. Now, I APPROVE of the change that would eliminate the need for a CLEO signature, since that is the very reason that the...
