I'm a little confused about the law. I was under the impression that only a person on the Form 3/trust/corporation is allowed "constructive possession" of the suppressor. That was said to include borrowing under owner supervision.
There are lots of people here saying "come hang out and try my can". Am I wrong or is that a felony? Sure, there may be no one to ask questions on 50 acres of private property, but...

If you're present you can let anybody use your nfa stuff. Constructive possession only applies to having the parts to illegally assemble an nfa item.

The ATF does not consider someone holding/shooting the can to have "possession" of your item. As long as you are present when they are shooting, then you still have possession of the can, and it is perfectly legal.

Just think about all of the machine gun shoots, ranges that rent machine guns etc. If it was illegal, those wouldn't be around long.

I just supposed a registered FFL dealer had additional rights to rent items. I have been under the impression the point of a trust is so you can share with the people around you. I guess I misunderstood and got a trust for nothing. Crap. I could have saved $200.

Also the trust allows you to eFile, for now it also eliminates the need for photos, fingerprints and CLEO signoff. |

My trust allows others on my trust, such as my brother, father, wife and eventually children to have possession of any of my Title II stuff without me needing to be present. Like now, my dad uses items on the trust at matches, and can do so without me needing to be there. Also the trust allows you to eFile, for now it also eliminates the need for photos, fingerprints and CLEO signoff. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Your $200 was wisely spent.

Example, your dad is listed on your trust. He can go hunting with your NFA item without you. You can be sitting at home watching a football game. Otherwise, you would need to be present with him when he uses it. In the example above, you would need to be out hunting with him walking right behind him. |

That clears it up. Thanks guys. I better buy the few more I want while my trust is still effective (prior to potential 41P changes).
