After the election, it’s time to get your NFA gun trust

If you’re like me, it’s a bit of a let down to see that Mr. Romney didn’t win the election.  For a few more days, I’m sure we will be inundated with all the reasons that President Obama rocks and the Mitt Romney couldn’t quite pull it off.  My faith in and hope for our great country waivers as the popular mindset is to reelect Mr. Obama. I hope that Mr. Obama will take the campaign, all of the vastly unhappy people in the country as a sign that he needs to step up his game.  Quite wasting time, quite...

Thanks to ImpersaNature Studios and Design!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted online (and that’s going to change very quickly) and it’s been a rather busy time as I’ve been building a new home office.  I am still working out of the Sandy location, but where I am working on lots of projects, I’ve needed a new place that is nice and quite to focus on my law practice.  I am particularly thankful for the amazing artwork provided by ImpersaNature studios for the custom law office wall art.  The guys over at ImpersNature are all extremely talented and...

5 things every NRA firearm instructor should consider

On a recent trip up to Alaska to teach the NRA Certified Pistol and Rifle courses, I had the opportunity to talk with the class about liability as an NRA instructor.  Oftentimes, as instructors, we get into some discussions about liability that we don’t feel all that comfortable talking about and simply say, “you should talk to an attorney about that.”  Well, I couldn’t just say, go talk to an attorney about your liability concerns as I am the attorney that I would recommend people go talk with – someone...

Perfect example of why you need an NFA gun trust

Perfect example of why you need an NFA gun trust

A good client was telling me a very interesting story the other day that I felt needed to be retold here.  It is a prime example of why you need to have an NFA gun trust set up to handle all of your NFA items. So here’s the jest of the story: This individual, who shall remain nameless inherited a suppressor from his father.  The son, who is not really all that interested in shooting, doesn’t do much with the suppressor.  The father purchased the suppressor as an individual, paid the $200 tax stamp, and had the suppressor on his...

Do you have to serialize your NFA item for a Form 1

Do you have to serialize your NFA item for a Form 1

One question I’ve been asked is whether you have to give your NFA item a unique serial number for your NFA items when registering on a Form 1. First, a little background…you could go to an NFA dealer to purchase an already assembled NFA item such as a short barreled rifle. In this purchase, your NFA registration will be conducted on a what is called a form 4. A form 4 is usually for pre-made or existing NFA items. You could purchase your NFA item as an individual, a corporation or using one of our Utah NFA gun trusts. Another...
