Supresor question

[RUGER]

If you have a suppressor and you die, how is that handled?
Can you leave it to anybody in your will or does it have to go to someone specific that already has one or what?

I assume you can leave it anyone but they will have to go through a background check?

Or do you just SSS?

Great question that I have often pondered, but have not researched thoroughly yet. You can leave it someone, but not just anyone will be legally licensed to own it. This is a concern of mine because if something were to happen to me, my wife and kids could not care less about a stick of metal that you screw on your barrel. Nor would they chance messing with it to get it in anyone's hands that could get some beneficial use out of it.

This is where a trusts come in, but I currently have an issue with that method too. I'm not sure who I want to put on a trust with me, because as of currently, none of my family or closest friends own or have a interest in suppressors. I suspect this thread will generate a few volunteers to put on my trust. :tu:

I'm thinking the best bet is to ask someone you trust (not family) to dispose of your stash and all related equipment.



I asked a few members when that nasty cold gurney was close at hand. They laughed out loud but only RUGER wanted a commission. :smash: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I went into surgery confident my stuff was in great hands, if need be.




Actually, there are a lot of folks on here you can trust with your stuff.

Edited for clarification.
I have a trust that names who the beneficiary of said items go to in the event of my death. My wife is a co-trustee. She can legally have possession of the items listed on my trust. My son is the beneficiary.
With that being said a trust is not the only way to go about leaving NFA items to others, it's just the method I chose.

This is where a trust really helps. NFA items in the trust would pass to the successor without him/her having to go through hoops obtaining stamps for the stuff. Beneficiaries who are of age can also be in possession of the NFA item without the need for you to be present. The trust can be amended to add or remove anyone necessary.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe if you don't have a Trust, and you go the individual route, you can designate in your Will what and how you want your NFA item taken care. Whomever receives said item, they just fill out a Form 5, fingerprints and such and the tax stamp is transferrable to them, no new tax stamp is needed. That's how interrupt the rules/laws, but seek professional legal advice as I am definitely not that :rotf:

Ding, ding, ding. Winner.
Tax free transfer. Or, the Executor can sell the suppressor.

Good to know, thanks for sharing this nugget of advice.

Apparently not an unusual question
