The video that Jared at Guns & Gadgets posted today from a training seminar with the ATF tries to explain some current questions asked of the ATF on this. As much as answers from a government agency and it agents can explain anything clearly.

I agree with you. It appears to be circular. In a state such as Tennessee, I believe I could move/add an item to a trust with an amendment and have it notarized. If I had the trust in place before the rules publication date and the item was placed in the trust before this date as well (with proof), I could submit this to the ATF and see if it was accepted. I don't plan on registering anything during this window and am making donations to aid in it and other overreaching actions being overturned. But, this would have been the method I employed as I wouldn't want to deal with an "NFA Item" that wasn't part of a trust. Past the date now, so all speculation.

Transferring an AR Stabilizing Braced Pistol to an NFA Trust Hopefully the upcoming lawsuits will make this all null and void but I thought I’d throw this out for your reading pleasure and consideration. Not sure if I should have l=placed this in a new post but figured this was a good place to start. Please correct any inaccuracy you notice. If you are thinking of utilizing the window to register your AR pistol as an SBR and utilize an NFA Trust, it may not be that simple. The NFA says on page 5 of their FAQ for Final Rule 2021-8F (item 12) that you can do so but that the firearm would have to be owned by the trust prior to the date the final rule is published in the Federal Register (see below or link) Frequently Asked Questions for 2021R-08F (atf.gov) William Kirk with Washington Gun Law addresses this in a video he posted. Link is below starting at time he addresses the highlights of this. Entire video should be watched, If you are interested. https://youtu.be/mTGfhG-kpVE?t=648 It looks like that if the firearm was not owned by the trust at the time the rule was published, you would have to submit your Form I and have it approved and then transfer it into your NFA Trust, which will require the $200 tax. So, from what I can tell, if you had already had an NFA Trust in place and properly transferred the item into your trust before the rule was published properly (i.e. could prove it), you may have a chance of not having to transfer it to your trust later and pay for the $200 tax stamp to do so.

Will do. Here is the link for others that may be interested. https://www.youtube.com/c/FuddBusters

Thank you for sharing. I'll put him on my list.

I have read quite a few of his books and probably watched hours and hours of video of him speaking. His.book Basic Economics should be required reading.

I wanted to post a couple of good sources of legal info related to firearms legal subjects that I have been utilizing recently. With all the current issues being addressed, they usually provide a nice concise, legal analysis on what is going on.

I love Thomas Sowell. He is one old school badass.

If I was strapped for cash and there was a way to buy a plan that only covered in the home and a plan that only covered outside the home, I would want a plan that covered me outside the home before I worried about anything covering me in the my home. If something happens in you household such as a home invasion, it will be a pretty clear cut case of who the aggressor is. It is outside of your household where things get much more questionable. I also want as much coverage as possible. 1 million dollars sounds like a lot but even that will get eaten up quickly.

I have been a member of CCW Safe for a few years now. I have what they now call their Ultimate Plan. I agree with TripleGGG, you should seriously look at a plan that includes civil liability coverage. They used to run a 10% discount on your first year through partners such as Law of Self Defense and Calguns but I don't believe they are doing it as often. You can do a little searching and see if you find a code out there.

Just for fun and more info, I looked at the post on my laptop and they don't show up there (Firefox v. 109 as well). Tried Microsoft Edge as well without any luck. Still show up on my desktop computer. Strange.

I see them fine int the post (four of them). I'm using Firefox ver. 109.0

Is the Aimpoint PRO Still available?

For anyone interested. Andrew Branca will be evaluating this incident with Attorney Steve Gosney today at 3pm CST on YouTube. From the email promoting this event, "...Although the initial shots fired by the shooter appear to be legally justified as defense of self, defense of others, and (uniquely under Texas law) perhaps even defense of property, the last shot fired looks more difficult to justify. At the moment that ninth shot was fired the robber was apparently unconscious on the floor and had been disarmed of the only weapon he was known to possess, when the shooter fired one last shot, apparently into the robber's head."

Couple of questions. The American Defense QD Mount appears to be what they classify as their Co-Witness version that has a center-line to top of rail height of 1.52". Is this accurate? Do you still have the original mount that came with the Aimpoint PRO as well? Thank you for the listing.

Mine came back in less than 30 days. National Gun Trusts has a nice little guide at the url below: https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/blogs/nfa-gun-trust-atf-information-database-blog/steps-to-apply-for-an-sbr-sbs-with-a-atf-form-1

Strategic Edge has a class called Precision Reloading. Private range but I believe classes are open to anyone. They are about 50 minutes southeast of downtown Nashville in Chapel Hill area. https://www.strategicedge.us/gun-range/training-courses

Glad to hear you are in the area and will be adding to the community with your services. Unfortunately, I am leaving town earlier in the week. It would have been great to meet you, give a hand and see a lathe. I hope someone is available to give you a hand and if someone comes to mind, I'll reach out to them on your behalf.

Honolulu Police Chief Encourages Citizens to Report Legal Guns Not Concealed Another situation reinforcing why it is better to not live in a state restricted to concealed carry. From GunsAmerica Digest. “Obviously, concealed carry and the definition of ‘conceal’ means that you can’t see it or it is unrecognizable to the average person,” said Logan (Honolulu Police Chief). “If it is noticed and you can see it, I would ask you to call 911.” Another situation reinforcing why it is better to not live in a state restricted to concealed carry. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/honolulu-police-chief-encourages-citizens-to-report-legal-guns-not-concealed/

Andrew has the online version of the course with the Tennessee state supplement for $99 on his website (DVD options available as well). Well worth the money and I would classify it as a requirement. It isn't just about carrying a handgun but just walking around in this messed up world. Self-defense law applies to any means you employ to defend yourself including open hand.

I find it amazing as well how many I people I talk to in our community that spend a large amount of time and money on firearms, accessories and even a lot of training but haven't spent any time on educating themselves on the legality of carrying and self-defense law. The fudd lore is very strong on these subjects. I often even receive scoffs from people when I bring it up. Andrew Branca's book is cheap as heck and a great place to start. https://lawofselfdefense.com and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@Lawofselfdefense The following two cover self-defense and firearms law and are great resources as well: William Kirk at Washington Gun Law. https://www.youtube.com/@WashingtonGunLaw Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor at the Armed Attorneys are another great reference. https://www.youtube.com/@ArmedAttorneys

Royal Range in the Bellevue area does from what I remember. Checking their website I see this page is active. https://www.royalrangeusa.com/rental-list-pricing

Article on it from Silencerco. What Happens to Your Suppressor When You’re Gone?

Had a great time. Very nice to get to meet a couple of online acquaintances face to face. I hope we can make these kind of meetings happen more often.
