Suppressors Tired of waiting to wait...

[earthquake]

I have the money for a suppressor, have had for quite some time now, but I put in a job application in another state over a month ago. They STILL haven't finished processing the applications! I had been putting off buying one because I wasn't sure if I'd be moving while my form-4 was in processing.

Well I'm tired of putting it off! If I buy the can now, and end up moving in a month, how do I transfer it? Can it be done and what do I need to do?

If I have to wait any longer I might end up buying a new mountain bike instead and use up all my suppressor money.

Should I just wait it out? How big is the hassle?

Thanks in advance.

Your opening a can of worms.

I guess the big question is are Supressors legal where your maybe going.

The best answer to this questions lies with the BATFE

My first thought is if you do wait for the form 4 to go through, the can is still at your dealer in state#1 which you will technically no longer be a resident in that state. The dealer couldn't transfer it to you in that case. As stated above I would call BATFE.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the advice. Funny that the two responders to this post are from CO and OH, since I live in CO and applied for a job in OH!

If I started a trust here, would that transfer? I'm looking at moving to Delaware county just north of Columbus. Suppressors are legal in OH.

I would call the BATFE/NFA branch and see what they say.

I asked the exact same question to the ATF and their response was basically if you move to a different state while a form 4 is processing you have to cancel the app, transfer the suppressor to your new dealer in the state you moved to and then start over.
