I disagree. I've known more than a couple of people who practice what I'm saying, including a good friend that operates under a reputable security contracting company. If you look at it from a business standpoint, rather than a legal document, that essentially what a trust is. When an entrepreneur starts a business, they may have to spend money out of their personal checking account to provide the overhead required to start up their small business. When you start a small business, you don't take out a loan under "XXX Gun shop", you take it out in your name, with the intention of expenditure toward the business that you are creating.
The same principle applies to the trust. You as an individual are a trustee, granted power over said trust to provide material assets as well as financial control. Saying that the trust is only legally able to spend money for itself is asinine, because if you trace that money back far enough, it's going to trace back to you anyway. I'm not saying do or don't create a separate bank account for your trust. All I'm saying is that it's not entirely necessary for all funds to come exclusively from a bank account that is designated as the "trust's" business account. As primary trustee and grantor, you are essencially the CEO of your trust, and take action for the trust on it's behalf, because a legal document can't make it's own decisions and/or decrees. Also, as I stated before, if you do your research, you will find that it is technically supposed to be the seller that pays the tax stamp, not the buyer, which is where it seems most peoples' fears come from, is paying for the tax stamp personally, when the trust is going to own the firearm. The trust that YOU own, owns the firearm.
