| Do you guys think its wise too (or can you ) add your spouse on the forms for register. The reason I ask if something happens to me she would get them . would she have to turn them in or sell them.. if She is on the paperwork she is CO owner .... Any help would be appreciated |
| There isn't enough room to have 2 names on the form. So I would make a trust or make a will and once your gone, she has legal custody of all your stuff. She can register the gun then within ?? days of your death. It's in the law somewhere (of nearly 200 pages....) |

"Assault weapons" which have been issued a certificate of possession can be transferred by bequest or intestate succession. Receiving an assault weapon under those circumstances one has 90 days to apply to DESPP for a certificate of possession. There is similar language for large capacity magazines as well.

(3) The transfer of an assault weapon for which a certificate of possession has been issued under section 53-202d, as amended by public act 13-3, as amended by this act, by bequest or intestate succession, or, upon the death of a testator or settlor: (A) To a trust, or (B) from a trust to a beneficiary who is eligible to possess the assault weapon;: From the updated 53-202d: (b) (1) No assault weapon, as defined in subparagraph (A) of subdivision (1) of section 53-202a, as amended by public act 13-3, possessed pursuant to a certificate of possession issued under this section may be sold or transferred on or after January 1, 1994, to any person within this state other than to a licensed gun dealer, as defined in subsection (f) of section 53-202f, as amended by public act 13-3, as amended by this act, or as provided in section 53-202e, or by bequest or intestate succession, or, upon the death of a testator or settlor: (A) To a trust, or (B) from a trust to a beneficiary who is eligible to possess the assault weapon.
