GUN TRUSTS & NFA REPRESENTATION

GUN TRUSTS & NFA LAWYERS

Despite popular misconceptions, it is legal to own automatic weapons, suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and many other kinds of exotic weaponry! However, purchase, sale, possession, and use of these unusual weapons is tightly regulated by the federal and state governments. We are experienced in helping private citizens legally acquire these items.

We generally recommend that our clients create a special firearms trust to hold their federally regulated firearms. Let us walk you through the process of creating and funding the trust, registering the trust with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, and acquiring the weapons you want from a licensed dealer.

Additionally, firearms and gun owners with exceptionally large collections, with or without federally regulated firearms, may benefit from a firearms trust. As an additional service, we will review your estate plan and make sure that your firearms and gun collection will pass to your intended beneficiaries smoothly, and without undue government involvement upon your death.
