Frequently Asked Questions

What is a NFA Gun Trust?

A NFA gun trust is a legal entity that can hold assets, such as firearms and silencers. Using a gun trust can be a useful option for those looking to purchase a silencer.
Once the gun trust is established, you can then use it to purchase a silencer. The NFA gun trust is considered a legal entity, rather than an individual.
The main advantage of using a NFA gun trust is that it can allow multiple people to possess and use the silencer. This is because the gun trust can name multiple people as beneficiaries. This can be useful for families or groups of friends who wish to share ownership of a silencer. The NFA gun trust can also be used to pass down silencers and other NFA and non-NFA firearms and assets.

Should I use a trust or buy Individually?

This is something that really only you can answer. If you purchase the silencer directly you must not allow anyone else access to the silencer when not in your presence. Meaning even your spouse cannot have access to where it is stored. When you pass away your heirs will be able to file paperwork to transfer the suppressor ownership to their name or they will need to give it up to the ATF. If you purchase with a trust you can name your spouse or any other person able to legally own a firearm as members of the trust (minors can be listed as a beneficiary). Trust members will be able to possess and have access to the suppressor with or without you present.
