Re: Trust for 2 cans or No Trust?
The point of a trust is not avoiding "LEO sig, finger prints, and photo." It's an ownership and access issue.
The "individual" the item is registered to must be present whenever the item is in use. The "individual" is required to control access to the item.
When the "trust" owns the item, trustee's have access to the item and are responsible for controlling access. The trust owns the item and specifies trustee's.
Yes, the trust must purchase the item, technically the trustee handles the purchase for the trust.
In reality an NFA item is a piece of furniture. The only ATF requirement is that the trust is legal in the state it was established.
Anything else you specifically address in the trust such as "transfer issues regarding who it's ok to go to, storage issues, language regarding use" etc are additional requirements that are unnecessary and provide more compliance issues for ATF to investigate.
Transfer of the item is regulated by federal law, access to the item is restricted to trustee's, use of the item is regulated by state/federal/local laws, control/possession of the item is regulated by law.
Why would you want to complicate a simple trust with language you would have to review every time one of the laws/regulations change?
A trust is for ownership, all the rest sounds like complications over fear of the Wisconsin political environment.
