I am in the north Carolina guard but currently stationed in tx for 4 more months then little rock for 6 months before returging to NC and I want to get a trust, sbr, and suppressor.

Where I have questions is the moving issues.

Is it legal to use a relatives address back in NC then file the year long out of state forms for texas and arkansas then do a change of address form once I get an address in NC?

Or am I able to set up the trust as an NC trust then when I file the forms for the SBR use my current tx address then do address changes to arkansas then north carolina?

Or is there other options I shouled look into?
I've tried googling and can't find much information on this issue, Thankyou in advance for any help offered.

I had my lawyer draw up my trust with my home of record as the address. I'm in GA now and file a Form 1 and a Form 4 so far; both are in process at this time. I'll be moving to CO by Christmas as well. So I'll likely engrave the SBR with the HOR city/State with the trust name on the firearm. Hope that helps as it seems similar in my head situation wise.

I'm military as well. My HOR allows SBRs and suppressors but set my trust up in CO where I'm stationed because it's my current address and I can buy in state now. Later when I move back home or wherever I will amend the trust. I did also put family in the trust who live in HOR state so if I move to a ban state I can send everything home.

Although it's highly unlikely that you would ever get prosecuted for it, that is technically illegal.






This is what I did as well.

I did mine with my HOR.  At the time I lived in AL, was a TX resident (HOR), and was PCSing to NC (Bragg).  I'm at Bragg now and have three tax stamps on it with two more in the works.  Below is what I did.

While in AL:

1 x Suppressor bought through Silencer Shop (Austin, TX) and delivered in state to my Father-In-Law (on the trust).  He later shipped the device to me in NC which the ATF said was legal.
2 x SBRed lowers ("made" in TX)

Pending since I've been in NC:

1 x SBRed lower (Made in NC now that I know better)
1 x Suppressor purchased through SF delivered to my SOT in NC.  ATF said my trust (made with AL/TX addresses) is valid for use even for purchase here in NC.  My paperwork for the actual Form 4 will show NC.

Hopefully this was helpful.

Thanks y'all that was helpful, after talking with a lawyer whose familiar with Texas and North Carolina laws I'm going to get a trust set up that works for both states but initially registered to Texas then transferred to Nc, then register the sbr in texas and transfer it to Arkansas then North Carolina. Thanks again y'all.

For what it's worth I used Sean Cody in Houston for mine.  He was very helpful and personally loves the firearms hobby.
