The Right To Bear Arms Is Not Absolute.

Gun laws are changing in Ohio and around the country and owners need to protect their right to bear arms. NFA Trusts, Firearms Trusts, Title II Trusts, Class 3 Trusts are all specific types of a Revocable Living Trust that deal with the unique issues of owning, transferring, and possessing Title II firearms (Silencers, Short Barrel Rifles and Shotguns, and Machine Guns). Under the National Firearms Act ("NFA"), a Class 3 Firearm is defined as a machine gun, sound suppressor (a.k.a. silencer), short-barreled shotgun, short barreled rifle, destructive device and "any other weapon".

If you are looking to purchase a Class 3 Firearm, the Chief Law Enforcement Officer or the city or county where you reside is required to sign a documented called a Form 4. However, this is often a problem as many Chief Law Enforcement Officers have been reluctant or outright unwilling to sign any request for the purchase of a Class 3 firearm. A "NFA Gun Trust" can help you either overcome this obstacle or avoid it altogether. "Gun Trusts," are sometimes referred to as a Firearms Trust or Firearms Revocable Trust. A Gun Trust, Limited Liability Company (LLC), or Corporation is a legal entity established under state law. The Revocable Gun Trust is typically less expensive to operate and provides greater privacy than a Corporation or LLC.

The "Gun Trust" actually will purchase and hold title to the restricted firearm or gun. The NFA trust is not required to submit fingerprints nor seek the approval of the local chief of police. Instead the federal government will verify and investigate the application.

As a result of the private status of a Ohio Revocable Trust, the only people who know the terms of the trust are those you choose to tell or provide a copy of the trust documents.

Most Ohio Revocable Trusts can hold firearms, but many are not setup properly to deal with the special issues involving items regulated by the NFA. When the NFA is violated, the individuals who violate the act are subject to substantial fines, criminal charges, and forfeiture of all weapons (not just those regulated). ($250,000 in penalties and 10 years in jail)

Because of the complicated nature of the NFA Trust and the serious consequences of mistakes in doing so, you should have it prepared and explained by a licensed attorney.
