| If I want buy NFA items here in Washington I can get an AOW or suppressor, but not a MG or SBR. Given the political climate here a CLEO sign off is out of the question so I would be going with a trust. The question I have is whether a trust started in Washington could be used to purchase NFA firearms in other states. Basically what I would like to do, if possible, is travel to OR or ID (which are NFA+) and make a purchase and store the NFA item in that state. I was thinking of buy something along the lines of a DIAS or Lightning link and securing it in a safety deposit box within a bank in the state where it is legal to possess it. While this would seriously limit my use of the item I could have it for the future and possibly bring it back to Washington some day should our laws regarding machine guns ever change back to what they were prior to 1994. Does anyone know if what I am contemplating is possible? |

One correction, there was no MG law in 1994; it was 1986. In order for a trust/corp/LLC/etc to operate out of it's domestic state, it has to be registered as a foreign entity to operate. It's much simpler to just create a separate entity in the state you want to purchase C3 and just let it operate there domestically as it's cheaper and easier in the long term. Lots of people do this. |
I realize the manufacturing ban was in 1986, but private ownership was banned in Washington in 1994. So since 1994 it has been illegal to bring pre-86 machine guns into Washington state. I am trying to figure the trust angle out. I am also unsure as to whether I can/should just start a trust with a family member that lives in Oregon. |
