| What is the regulation on transporting a registered suppressor over state boarders even to friendly states? If you own a registered suppressor how do you transfer it if you move to a new state? What is the average wait time for approval to buy and own? |
From the tacked thread at the top of the page  All you ever wanted to know about suppressors "...How about traveling with a suppressor across states lines? ADDED BY TONY_K Approved 5320.20s are required for interstate transportation of all NFA items except suppressors and AOWs. If you are transporting other types of NFA, it's worth getting .20s for your suppressors and AOWs as well as a CYA. Many LE do not know AOWs and cans are exempt from .20s, and will wonder why they aren't on your approved list. BATFE will approve a 5320.20 for suppressors and AOWs if you submit one. As far as notifying out-of-state authorities ... no notice is required to travel through a state -- that is protected under FOPA '86. Some states do have their own requirements for visitors, though, so if you want to shoot NFA at your destination, check in the hometown forums about that state's regs. (IIRC, Va., N.C. and Mass. regulate visitors' NFA, but don't hold me to that.)... |
