Do you use a Schedule A for inventory?

but, Absolutely Not!

When you use a Gun Trust to submit a Form 1 or Form 4 Application, you have to prove to the ATF that the trust owns the Silencer, SBR, Machine Gun, etc. This can accomplished by attaching a ‘Schedule’ to your Gun Trust (a terrible idea) or by using an Assignment Sheet (WooHoo!)

A ‘Schedule’ is a complete inventory of the property held by the trust. Because ‘Schedules’ are a permanent part of the trust, anytime you submit a copy of your trust to the ATF, you are giving them your entire Gun Trust inventory. Not only is the property in your Gun Trust nobody’s business, but complete inventory lists can cause you a lot of trouble. At times, you will be required to show a complete copy of your Gun Trust to individuals such as ATF Agents, bank employees, and gun store employees. If your Gun Trust uses a ‘Schedule’ to list out the Gun Trust inventory, you may experience the following:

Application delays by ATF employees that feel you already have too many firearms;
Refusals to open bank accounts, by liberal bankers that don’t believe in the 2nd Amendment; and
Theft, by gun store employees that know you have a large collection of firearms (and know exactly where you live).

Because the Trust Shop guys don’t think the size of your firearms collection is anyone’s business, your Trust Shop NFA Gun Trust uses a much more discreet & confidential method for adding property to your Gun Trust.

The Trust Shop Assignment Sheet is the safe & private way to add firearms to your Gun Trust! The Assignment Sheet does the exact same thing as a ‘Schedule’ without the down-side of a complete inventory list. The difference is that the Assignment Sheet does not become a permanent part of the Gun Trust. Instead, it is a separate legal document that proves the property was transferred to the Gun Trust. There are many benefits to using an Assignment Sheet:

No comprehensive inventory list
Use as many different Assignment Sheets as you want
ATF only requires you to submit a single Assignment Sheet listing the specifics of the firearm in the Form 1 or 4
No delays from ATF Investigators that think you already have too many guns
Bank employees never see anything about the property in your Gun Trust
Other than the firearm you are purchasing, gun store employees have no idea what you have in your Gun Trust
Your Trust Shop NFA Gun Trust includes FREE Assignment Sheets for LIFE!

Assignment Sheets are one of the many benefits you get with a Trust Shop NFA Gun Trust

What is an NFA Firearm?

The National Firearms Act (NFA) was passed in 1934 as an attempt to deter gangsters (like Al Capone) from shooting up the town and committing other violent crimes. The Feds reasoned that crime would go away if they taxed the guns used by the gangsters. The original amount of the tax was $200, which has remained unchanged to this day. We know $200 doesn’t sound like a very significant deterrent, but did you know that $200 in 1934 is equivalent to $3800 today. Nevertheless, as criminals don’t register their guns, the tax only imposes q burden law abiding citizens & restricts the freedom to bear arms guaranteed under the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Firearms subject to the 1934 Act include:

• a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
• a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
• a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
• a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;
• any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e);
• a machinegun;
• any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and
• a destructive device.

Type 1, Title II, Class 3... Uggh!?

These terms get a lot of people really confused. Which, is understandable, as the terms are so frequently misused. In a nut-shell: Type refers to the Gun Dealer’s Federal Firearms License (FFL); Title refers to the type of firearm; and Class refers to a Firearms Dealer’s Special Occupational Tax (SOT). Here is a bit more detail on each of the terms:

Types of Federal Firearms Licenses

Type 01	Dealer in Firearms Other Than destructive devices
Type 02	Pawnbroker in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices
Type 03	Collector of Curios and Relics
Type 06	Manufacturer of Ammunition
Type 07	Manufacturer of Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices
Type 08	Importer of Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices
Type 09	Dealer in Destructive Devices
Type 10	Manufacturer of Destructive Devices
Type 11	Importer of Destructive Devices

Title I and II Firearms

Different types of firearms are defined in The Gun Control Act.

Title I of the Gun Control Act defines rifles, shotguns, handguns, etc.

Title II of the Gun Control Act (a/k/a the The National Firearms Act), defines Short-barreled rifles (SBR’s), Short-barreled shotguns (SBS’s), Machine Guns, Silencers, Destructive Devices, and AOW’s (Any Other Weapon)

SOT Class

SOT stands for Special Occupational Tax, which a firearms dealer must have in order to become involved in the importing, selling, or transferring of NFA (Title II) Firearms items. Class stands for the particular Class of Special Occupational Tax (SOT) a Gun Dealer needs to have, depending of which activity they are engaged in.

Class 1 SOT – A Firearms Dealer with a Class 1 SOT is an Importer of NFA firearms. To be eligible for a Class 1 SOT, a Dealer must have a Type 8 or 11 FFL

Class 2 SOT – A Firearms Dealer with a Class 2 SOT is a Manufacturer & dealer of NFA firearms. To be eligible for a Class 2 SOT, a Dealer must have a Type 7 or 10 FFL.

Class 3 SOT – A Firearms Dealer with a Class 3 SOT is a Dealer of NFA firearms. To be eligible for a Class 3 SOT, a Dealer must have a Type 1 or 2 FFL

So, the next time you hear someone say “Class 3 Firearms,” you can politely explain that Class 3 refers to the class of SOT the Type 07 firearms dealer needs, before they can sell Title II Firearms

Is a Trust Shop Gun Trust Perpetual?

That Depends…

Every state has different laws about how long a Gun Trust can last. The old Common Law Rule (known as the Rule Against Perpetuities) states that no trust can last longer than the life of the Settlor/Creator + 21 Years. However, most states have moved away from the Rule Against Perpetuities, choosing to adopt their own state-specific limits.

In order to maximize the length of your trust, the Trust Shop Gun Trust includes language that extends the life of your trust as far beyond the your death, as is allowed by your state’s laws. However, we also added language that gives your Successor Trustee the option to terminate the trust at an earlier point, if that is your wish.

Note: Beware of companies that claim their Gun Trusts are perpetual, as the majority of states have set limits on how long your trust can last, regardless of what the trust language says.

Can I use my Gun Trust for more than one gun?

Absolutely!

One Gun Trust is all you ever need! Once your Create your Gun Trust is complete, you can use it for every NFA item you ever purchase or build

Additionally, you can use your Gun Trust for your personal (Title I) firearms collection. Giving your personal firearms to the Gun Trust gives you the power to state who you want to inherit the items, without the need for the costly & time consuming probate process.

Can I put my personal firearms into my Gun Trust?

Absolutely!

One Gun Trust is all you ever need! Once you Create your Gun Trust, you can use it for both your NFA Firearms (Title II) and your personal (Title I) firearms collection. Giving your personal firearms to the Gun Trust gives you the power to state who should inherit the items, and completely eliminates the costly & time consuming probate process. By putting your personal firearms into your Gun Trust, you will save your loved ones thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and court costs that come from Probate. Even if you never buy a single NFA Firearm, creating a Gun Trust for your personal firearm collection is a smart estate planning move on your part!

Additionally, when you give your personal firearms to your Gun Trust, you are also funding your trust. That’s because your trust becomes the owner of something that has value. Putting your personal firearms into your Gun Trust is not only OK, but it is what we recommend to all of our customers.

How do I create a Gun Trust?

Creating your Gun Trust is easy when you use the Trust Shop. We created an easy to follow information form that has detailed explanations to guide you through the process. As soon as you submit your information, the Trust Shop lawyer will review your answers to make sure everything looks good. Within a few hours you will receive your new Gun Trust along with a packet of instructions on how to finalize your trust, as well as FAQ’s on the Form 1 and 4 Tax Stamp application process.

It won’t be long before you’re at the range using your new suppressor, SBR, or machine gun!

Do you have different Levels or Packages?

Absolutely Not!

The idea that you can have different “Levels” of a Gun Trust is absurd! A Trust… is a Trust… is a Trust! Either your Gun Trust is a Revocable (Living) Gun Trust or it is nothing.

Let’s look at the definitions for the terms Revocable and Gun Trust

Revocable: Means you can add or remove property from the trust, add or remove beneficiaries, and add or remove Co-Trustees. If a company that sells Gun Trusts says you have to pay more for any of these features, by definition the original Gun Trust was not a Revocable Living Trust. What’s really happening (in most cases) is that the “lower-level” trusts are completely capable of being revised, amended, or changed, but the company won’t tell you how to do it without receiving additional money.

Gun Trust: Means a Revocable Trust specifically designed to hold NFA items and facilitate the transfer of these items when the Settlor (person creating the trust) dies.

So, the way we see it here at the Trust Shop is that you either buy a Revocable Living Gun Trust, or you don’t. There is no middle ground! And that’s why we don’t offer different Levels or Packages!

Ask yourself this: If a company is selling different levels or packages of a Gun Trust, what is the difference between the lower-tier and upper-tier trust? If the difference is that you can’t add Co-Trustees or Beneficiaries, then the Gun Trust isn’t a valid Revocable Living trust in the first place. If the difference is that the lower-tier trust doesn’t have the necessary NFA language, then it isn’t an NFA Gun Trust. If the difference is that you can’t add additional NFA items to the trust, it isn’t a valid Revocable Living Trust.

There are only two things that can legitimately give rise to different “Levels” of Gun Trusts. 1. The lower level trust may not include support, while support is free of charge with the upper level trust. 2. The lower level trust may not include free changes, while the upper level trust provides them free of charge.

Don’t get us wrong… It’s okay for a company to charge you to make changes or for providing support (as long as they tell you about the charges up front). The Trust Shop simply chooses not to charge for these benefits. We provide these services because Gun Trusts only work correctly when you have access to support and the modifications. Because we want to make sure our customers keep their Gun Trusts completely up to date, the Trust Shop provides free changes for life. And, because the process of applying for a Tax Stamp can be so confusing, we provide unlimited support, completely free of charge!

The Trust Shop actually got its start because of some of this nonsense. Two buddies (both lawyers without specialized knowledge of Gun Trusts) were at the gun range when they saw someone shooting a fully-automatic machine gun with a silencer. After asking a few questions of the shooter, the friends became aware that ownership of these items was completely legal. SO, these guys decided they each needed to get a Gun Trust and start purchasing fun NFA toys. After a bit of research, they chose a “Recommended” Gun Trust attorney to draft their Gun Trusts. One of the guys had more money than he knew what to do with, so he opted for the highest level Gun Trust, which cost him $999 The other guy couldn’t swing that high of a cost, so he opted for the “Entry Level” Gun Trust that cost $299. Several weeks later when the guys met back at the shooting range, they started comparing the two Gun Trusts. Guess what they discovered? The Gun Trusts were word-for-word identical carbon copies of one another. Outraged that they had been so gullible, the buddies began researching Gun Trusts. The result was the creation of the first truly comprehensive and all-inclusive Gun Trust. Ten years later the Trust Shop was serving every state in the country, with the same comprehensive and inclusive Gun Trusts, specially adapted to the laws of each individual state.

When you buy a Gun Trust from the Trust Shop, you get every possible trust feature allowable by law. You also get:

What are the benefits of a having Gun Trust?

Gun Trusts provide many benefits.
But, there are several benefits that really stand out

All of the firearms in a Gun Trust avoid the probate process. This means your Beneficiaries will receive the NFA items without the interference of the courts. You save a lot of money in court costs, eliminate any public record concerning the NFA items, and expedite the transfer process

With a Gun Trust you can have Co-Trustees that are able to legally possess the NFA firearms in the gun trust. Co-Trustees can be added or removed (free if you use the Trust Shop) at any time. However, if an NFA item is owned by an individual, only that person can legally possess the NFA item.

if you own NFA items as an individual and something happens to you that makes you a “Prohibited Person,” you will lose your NFA firearms. This happens because you are the only person legally allowed to possess them. The ATF swoops in and takes the NFA firearms from you and they are automatically destroyed.

People often think this isn’t an issue that could ever affect them, but it actually happens all the time. Did you know that all it takes to become a “Prohibited Person” is for someone to file a restraining order against you? You don’t even have to be found guilty of anything, just accused. All that has to happen is for someone to convince a judge that they are scared of you. This happens all the time in divorce cases and domestic situations.

This is just one example of the many things that can happen to make you a Prohibited Person

Unlike the situation above, if your firearms are in a Gun Trust and a restraining order is filed against you, the trust firearms can be given to a Co-Trustee or the Successor Trustee until you get through the “Restraining order Period.” That way you will get all of your toys back.

Can I use my Family Living Trust for my firearms?

Maybe. But, it’s a really terrible idea!

Technically a family trust is legal to use for an NFA Firearm, but it simply isn’t worth it. Family revocable living trusts don’t contain the correct language or laws concerning NFA items and very few are ATF & 41F compliant. It is very important for the trust to specifically and clearly reflect the laws from the National Firearms Act, as well as the individual state laws. And, it is particularly important that the trust give a detailed explanation of who is considered a “Prohibited Person“

A gun trust is special type of trust designed to address issues that are unique to firearms, which are one of the most heavily-regulated types of personal property in the United States. The Trust Shop NFA Gun Trust is a specialized revocable living trust that describes the rules and regulations relating to the use, possession, and transfer of firearms.

You probably paid more than $500 for your family revocable trust, but it isn’t made for NFA Firearms. That’s why you should get the $49 NFA Gun Trust from the Trust Shop.

Specifically designed for personal and NFA firearms

Can I use a $1 Bill to create my Gun Trust?

Yes

Funding your trust is when you give some property to your trust. If your trust isn’t funded, then it doesn’t actually exist.

There are several good methods for funding a trust. For example you can:

– Give a $1, $5, $10, etc. Bill to your trust
– Open a checking account and deposit some money into the account
– Give one of your Title I (personal) firearms to the trust

There are different ways you can give property to a trust. The Trust Shop uses Assignment Sheets, which are documents that include a description of the property (serial numbers in the case of cash), the date the property is transferred, a Settlor or Trustee’s signature, and witness signatures.

One of the benefits of using the Trust Shop is that you get an unlimited number of Assignment Sheets to use for transferring property into your trust. And, we don’t just send you a bunch of blank forms… We help you fill them out!

Can I use my money to buy things for my Gun Trust?

Yes!
But, there are a few things you need to do.

To make sure your trust property is protected you must follow certain guidelines. One of those guidelines is that you cannot commingle funds. Comingling is when you mix your personal money and trust money together. Comingling usually occurs when a person uses their personal money to buy something for the trust, or uses trust money to pay for a personal item.

Then how is it okay to buy something for my trust using my personal money?

As long as you attach a document to the trust explaining that personal funds were used to purchase something for the trust, you’ll be fine. This document is known as Memorandum of Contribution (MOC), which lists the date, amount, & name of the item. It also states the type of payment used, the name of the store, & gets signed by the Settlor or Trustee

The Memorandum of contributions is one of the many benefits you get with a Trust Shop NFA Gun Trust
