Gun Trusts?
« on: February 27, 2015, 02:28:11 PM »
My wife is an attorney & she had someone ask her about Gun Trusts.   She basically told the client they aren’t versed in it and wouldn’t do it.  So, if you know an attorney who does gun trusts, then we could send them a referral.   But she wanted to see how hard it was and what it looks like.  As I surfacely understand them it is an entity that can purchase weapons maybe quicker than an individual.

Anyone here heard of this or have any experience with it?   If you know the name of an attorney that handles that type of work, can you please let me know?

A trust is a legal entity that at this time has no fingerprints or background check or contact with local law enforcement to purchase machineguns and silencers.  People who want these items but do not feel comfortable talking to law enforcement this is the most often reason they choose this route.  BATFE is currently reviewing this process and changes will be coming in the future as the BATFE sees this as a way around the background check.  Dick Clark would be the best qualified for this service in Nebraska.  It does not make buying guns easier or quicker, just means you don't have to give up your fingerprints or ask Law Enf. permission to own.

Can these trusts also be used for obtaining the paper required to posses a Short Barrel Rifle?
Government not being restrained by the Constitution as written is tyranny pure and simple.

On another note, the trusts are a good way to make sure your firearms stay in your family should something happen to you.  All persons listed, in the trust 'own' the items in the trust.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
