| I am considering relocating to Nevada from Alaska and I have know idea how Nevada law enforcement views private ownership of suppressors. Anyone out there with expertise regarding suppressor ownership in Nevada? I would be moving to Churchill county so I curious to know how "friendly" the local CLEO is in regards to signing off on a Form 1 or Form 4. Thanks in advance! |

Thanks for the reply, sounds like good news. I am not ready to give up my 300 whisper project just yet. I actually grew up in Fallon so I won't be totally new to the area. Kalifornia, yuck! I would have to give up too many of my legal guns if I were to move there and do it according to their anti-second amendment laws. Anyone else with NFA experience in Nevada? |

From www.atf.gov/pub/nfab/index.htm: "Moving Registered NFA Firearms Interstate Individuals other than qualified Federal firearms licensees must obtain permission from ATF prior to temporarily or permanently moving a machine-gun, short-barreled shotgun, short-barreled rifle, or destructive device interstate. To obtain permission to move these firearms, please submit to ATF either a letter requesting permission to move them or an ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport Interstate or Temporarily Export Certain NFA Firearms. This form is available at the ATF Internet website or may be obtained by contacting the NFA Branch. If you are submitting the request by letter, please include the: • Name of registrant; • The firearm(s); • The current location of the firearm(s); • The location to which the firearm(s) will be transported; • The date(s) and means of transportation (car, plane, boat, etc.); and • The reason the firearm is being moved. Please also indicate in the letter whether: (1) the move is temporary or permanent; (2) the move will involve a transfer of the title; and (3) whether the possession of the firearm will violate local or State law at the destination. The ATF Form 5320.20 includes these requirements. Requests for interstate transportation will be denied by ATF if possession of the firearm at the destination will violate State or local law. Registrants do not have to obtain permission from ATF to move a silencer or “any other weapon” interstate. However, if a registrant’s address for these types of firearms changes after registration with ATF, please notify the NFA Branch in writing of the new address, so the NFRTR can reflect the registrant’s correct address." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, as long as it's not illegal to possess in the state you want to move to (in NV, it's not), then you don't need a LEO signature - just notify ATF with a Form 5320.20 that you are moving it to NV as a permanent move, then notify the NFA branch to change your address on file, as is noted in that last paragraph above. |
