If you’re reading this blog, you probably already know the usual arguments about registry. \u00a0A friend of mine just brought up a scenario that I had never thought of.<\/p>\n
He has an older friend that is unfortunately in the hospital with one of those issues that a lot of folks don’t come home from (hope that’s not the case here, but…). \u00a0Life has apparently treated his buddy pretty well, and he’s been able to afford some machine guns. \u00a0This is where it gets sticky. \u00a0Some folks have apparently attempted to rob his buddy’s house a couple times. \u00a0My friend is the only one that the guy and his family trusts\/knows that has the ability to properly lock up the guns away from the now vacant house.<\/p>\n
From the admittedly small amount we know about the NFA registry, this may not be exactly legal. \u00a0When getting your NFA tax stamp, you can either register by your lonesome, or set up a trust. \u00a0If you get the stamp directly tied to you, you’re the only one that can possess the item. \u00a0No loaning it out, etc. \u00a0If you set up a trust, anyone that is named on the trust can possess it. \u00a0Unfortunately, I don’t know which this gentleman did, but, if it was a trust, my friend was not named and there’s a decent chance that the guy will die before the ATF gets back to him about adding a name to the trust. \u00a0Not to mention that the third robbery attempt may succeed.<\/p>\n
If there wasn’t a registry, it would be a simple case of “oh, I can hold onto that for you. \u00a0With the registry? \u00a0Things get a lot trickier.<\/p>\n
(By the way, no. \u00a0This isn’t me. \u00a0It really is a friend of mine. \u00a0I won’t tell you his name. \u00a0On the other hand, if you have a tip other than “find a lawyer,” I’ll be happy to pass it along.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
