Suppressor Legal Questions
Howdy,
I spoke with local gun shop that employs a local LEO. He couldn't give me sure answer to this:
IF I buy a suppressor and pay for the tax stamp does that complicate transporting inter state? I know mods like making a pistol an SBR will which is what got me thinking.
I figured since you can leave it behind rather easily it shouldn't be too complicated. The local LEO suggested IF I happened to get in some jack pot where the gun was looked at critically and ran through a data base it may get flagged but he seemed to think short of getting in a shooting very unlikely.
I've never modded a firearm like this so wonder if there is an actual stamp that is applied that could be scanned or is it simply the serial number that carries the mod information? Or is it the suppressor that gets the tax stamp? Or does the suppressor and firearm become one entity and not transferrable to another firearm? These just occurred to me!
Thanks,
W
