| Was thinking of a hypothetical situation earlier. Say a person was in the process of moving, from one state to another. A form 4 for a suppressor is approved after he/she leaves state A but before becoming an official resident of state B. If it is not conducive for them to travel back to state A anytime soon, would it be possible to fill out a form 3 along with a .20 address change and have the can sent to an NFA dealer in state B? Is there any way around traveling back to state A besides starting the entire process over? |

As an individual, once you sell/move out of your home and leave State A you are no longer a resident and the dealer in State A would no longer be able to transfer the gun to you even if the Form 4 was already approved.
If you submitted the Form 4 as an individual, then you'd have to cancel the current Form 4, have the dealer Form 3 to a dealer in State B, then resubmit a Form 4 as a resident of State B. A lot of time is lost if you have to move out of state before the Form 4 is approved. If you submitted as a Trust, then any trustee who still resides in State A can pick-up the firearm from the dealer after the Form 4 is approved. You could go back to State A and pick it up from that trustee, then take it back to State B. They could also ship it directly to you as well. |

You would have to cancel the Form 4 (allowable since the NFA item hasn't been physically transferred yet), then Form 3 to your new in state dealer, then do another Form 4. ETA: WAY BEAT lol |
