New 41F Update

[heavyd]

Below is a blog post that just went up on our website, linked below. You can download a free amendment that keeps your co-trustees from having to deal with the 41F requirements.

New 41F Update for all NFA Lawyers Clients:

The ATF will require fingerprints, pictures, and a law enforcement notification for all NFA applications postage marked on or after July 13, 2016. Only you, the creator (settlor) of the trust, must comply with these requirements if you follow the instructions below. The amendment and instructions below apply only to trusts drafted by NFA Lawyers, LLC.

- Download and complete this Amendment
- Get fingerprinted at your local gun shop or
detention center
- Obtain passport pictures from your local gun shop
or drug store
- Take the following to your dealer when you
purchase an NFA weapon

1) A copy of your entire Gun Trust and a blank
Assignment of Property
2) A copy of the Amendment you downloaded and
completed
3) Fingerprints
4) Passport pictures

- Your dealer will help you fill out any forms. Most dealers also mail any forms for you.

You may shred this amendment upon approval of the NFA application. At this moment, all co-trustees are back on your trust and may possess all NFA weapons in the trust.

If submitting a Form 1 or Form 4 without a dealer, you must mail all of the above requirements to the ATF. A Form 5320.23 and a copy of the Form 1 or Form 4 must also be mailed to your local chief law enforcement officer (CLEO). This person is your local sheriff or constable. Regular mail is perfectly acceptable.

Is this something that would need to be done for every purchase?

@heavyd Do you think the ATF will catch on and amend 41F to not allow it like this, thus making it more difficult as they seemingly want it to be?

You would need to do this for every purchase. But, it's only a simple form you send in with your application.

I doubt it. The states govern their own trust laws. Messing with state law on such a petty issue would get the feds into a losing legal battle. They know it, and that's why it wasn't provided for in 41F.
