Firearms Trusts and Recent Developments
Jk. Winters P.C.
The National Firearms Act (“NFA”) sought to curb the popularity of so-called “gangster weapons” used during prohibition such as machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and silencers. Now, all Title II firearms must be registered with the NFA. To legally possess a Title II firearm there must be a transfer of registration within the NFA registry, which requires ATF approval, a background check, a photograph, a signature from a Chief Law Enforcement Officer (“CLEO”), and paying a tax. You must strictly adhere to the transfer registration process for Title II firearms or be in violation of the NFA. Due to the nature of Title II firearms and political pressure regarding gun violence, many CLEOs refuse to sign the transfer documents. Without a CLEO signature, owning Title II firearms is essentially illegal. However, Title II firearms can also be transferred to legal entities such as firearms trusts. A firearm trust helps avoid the possibility of your firearm transfer being denied. Currently, firearms trusts do not require a CLEO signature, fingerprints, or photographs to own Title II weapons. The trust becomes the registered owner of the weapons. A person is appointed trustee of the trust to protect your firearms for your chosen beneficiary. Restrictions may be placed on how and when firearms are transferred. The trustees and beneficiaries can always be changed, but the trust itself is the registered owner of the firearms. In 2013, the ATF proposed a rule to change ownership requirements for firearms trusts requiring all persons associated with firearms trusts to submit fingerprints, photographs, and undergo criminal background checks. Trusts purchasing Title II firearms must obtain CLEO approval. Absent approval, ownership of Title II firearms is basically illegal. Currently, this proposed rule has no legal effect. The rule is open to public comment until December 2013. Author: David J. Elmore is an Of Counsel Attorney with JK Winters PC.
